Dear Debian OpenOffice team, I have a quick non-Debian related question for you, but one that I think you're uniquely positioned to answer.
I've been attempting to cross compile OOo for armel on my x86_64 platform, but after much labor I found that my cross compile environment was completely ignored and that the packages ended up being compiled for x86_64 anyway. For those who are curious, I've been using Nokia's Scratchbox environment for compiling packages for the Nokia internet tablet's Maemo platform, which is a heavily customized downstream project derived from Debian. When I explained what happened on the OOo IRC channel, a dev told me that they always do all native builds, even on ARM, and that OOo ignores many cross compile variables. I don't know the details of how it works (all I have to do is login to Scratchbox's custom shell), I assume something with paths, so I don't know what variables are important or not. Clearly "--host" isn't an option, so how do you all manage to cross compile OOo, or do you also do native builds? Thanks, Ersin Akinci -- ========= Ersin Y.
