Then it`s sad that the port was marked for 4.0... Btw: Because Java does work on i386 -> Would OpenOffice with Javasupport possible? I don`t know for real wich functions get deactivated if you`ve a non-Java Version. It just noticed it in the makefile. Btw: Not all Ports are included into the build procedure but there Ports you still can build even there`s no package for it. Propably that`s part of the "yunkyard" I`ve told Marc about... Tagging Ports for 4.0 even they`re brocken is just crap and leads to discussions like this one. :-/ Are the issues with saving/opening new Files solved in current? Then I`ll propablytry a port from current on 4.0 even that`s no recommended. Kind regards, Sebastian p.s. If jAVA gets "OpenSource" in November/December does this mean OpenBSD 4.1 propably can or will ship binary packages for JAVA? Just in case you did followed all the publications from SUN. -- Don't buy anything from YeongYang. Their Computercases are expensiv, they WTX-powersuplies start burning and their support refuse any RMA even there's still some warenty.
