is anyone trying to get the now opensource staroffice to compile on
linux/ppc?

I've given up on this - the build tools included in the source package are
binary only (Intel or Sparc), no sources so far as I can see, and the
stuff in config_office has a number of hardcoded assumptions that make
life miserable (gcc version == 2.95.2, jdk 1.2.2 which requires glibc
2.1.3, Linux only exists on Intel and Sparc, ...). Basically, it sucks.

                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Look at the bright side: at least the code should be endianness and 64-bit
clean :-)

Well, maybe anyways.  Are you sure it's Linux/x86 and Linux/sparc not
Linux/x86 and Solaris/sparc and Solaris/x86? :)  Anyways,
http://porting.openoffice.org/ implies anwyays the src for the tools should be
around.  Finally, gcc 2.95.2 (or 2.95.3) and glibc 2.1.3 are good for you.
JDK 1.2.2 should be fine (Kevin?)

I'm sure its Linux and (Intel or sparc). My perl skills are next to
non-existing but nested ifs do suggest something to me :-)

The day I tried (Oct. 13) nothing besides the raw source tarball was up on
the site. I'll check again though. I've read to different and conflicting
build instructions (one suggested JDK 1.1.8, the other 1.2.2).

I'm already using a recent gcc 2.95.3 but libc upgrades always freak me
out ...
