I did it. It did not build. > Changing a libreoffice build dependency is a big job to validate. > My advice would be to open an account on http://www.redports.org, and > submit a patch changing editors/libreoffice/Makefile to either change > JAVA_VERSION to 1.7+, and see if it passes a redports build. > First attempt was defining JAVA version 1.7 via /etc/make.conf. Libreoffice started to build and it stopped. Second attempt was editing /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice/Makefile and build process was stopped again. AFAK @bapt mentioned that problem when JAVA default version swtiched to 1.7+. His message is available at mailing list archives. Both attempts were limited to java version not compiler or else. -- Gökşin Akdeniz <goksin.akde...@gmail.com>
