Hello all, I am about to engage on building OpenOffice.org from source on my Mac G4. I found this page which was posted quite recently:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/build_680_X11.html#gpc > Building OpenOffice.org 680 Milestones for DarwinPPC I noticed that on this page, there appears to be a missing bullet point as in: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/build_680_X11.html#add_software > * The perl module Archive::Zip > * > * Apache Ant > * gpc > * pkg-config > * gtk2 - optional - not needed I am wondering if it is Ok to ignore the blank second bullet point or is there something important that was accidentally omitted? I want to be very thorough because my boss is counting on me to install OOo (and build from source) on our Macs in our office so we can wave good bye to Microsoft! Also, I am trying to figure this out -- does the 680 build correspond to Ooo 2.0? I have seen some references to version 1.9 as well. Is there a recommended specific 680 snapshot that is considered stable enough to download from and build? Or is it better to just build for OOo 1.1.4 for Darwin? I noticed something and I'm not sure if this is a bug in the HTML documentation, but I was looking at the page for building the OOo 1.1.4 Source and Solver: http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/source.html On that page, if you click on the link in the bullet point labeled: "Downloading and Building the Source" It doesn't bring you to another page or to another location. For example, try this: http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/source.html#ondownloads All in all, this is a tad bit confusing as to which build instructions to follow for Darwin PPC / Mac OS X. Maybe the best thing right now to do is to build the stable 1.1.4 for Darwin PPC. Maybe because of the new Ooo.org web site, were some URLs lost in the process of updating it? If anyone can clarify this would be much appreciated.
