After successfully moving from 6.4 to 8.0 by doing a clean install I've embarked on the task of rebuilding OpenOffice from ports :-(

I'm getting a confusing error in the config stage:

gperf comes with the base system as well:



but it is certainly possible to build OOo under FreeBSD 8.0 --
it will install the ports version of gperf as a build dependency.

% /usr/bin/gperf --version GNU gperf 2.7.2

True enough I don't have a native libstdc++.so.5 .

/usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-portbld-freebsd6.4/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6

   what in the up-to-date ports tree would need gcc-3.4 since the base
   system is now up to gcc-4.2, and that's quite capable of compiling
   OOo.

version.  What does 'ldd /usr/local/bin/gperf' tell you?

At a guess you haven't followed the often repeated advice to reinstall
/all/ your ports when you do a major version upgrade.  That means

now you understand why this is good advice...

libstdc++.so.5 would be part of a 7.x base system, but as you've gone to 8.0 by doing a clean install, nothing should be referencing that recompile from source in correct dependency order, or install pkgs compiled under 8.0. Yes, it's tedious. Yes, it consumes a lot of CPU cycles. But
