At this point i get:

c64:~# apt-get install -t experimental boost-build
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
boost-build is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.
c64:~# apt-get build-dep -t experimental openoffice.org
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Build-dependencies for openoffice.org could not be satisfied.

Any ideas?

By now, you do not need to modify anymore the debian/rules file. The
amd64 architecture is compiling fine automatically and produce all the
needed packages.

But the software is still quite unstable and need to be tested and debugged.

I guess now it's building fine and we need to fix all these pointers
problems (last time I ran it I was hitting a double free problem).

Just to recall the process to compile it:

First of all, few links about OpenOffice:
http://www.openoffice.org/
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Porting_to_x86-64_(AMD64,_EM64T)
http://openoffice.debian.net/
http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/openoffice.org.html

Preparing to compile (to be done once):

1) Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib

2) Update:
su -c 'apt-get update'

3) Get the packages needed to compile openoffice.org:
su -c 'apt-get build-dep -t experimental openoffice.org'

Note: The package boost-build is needed but might not be in the list
of the build-dep (install it by hand if needed)

Once you got all these done, we can get the source and compile it:

1) Get the source from the experimental Debian repository (getting the
sources from the experimental makes it sure to track bugs on the very
last version): apt-get source -t experimental openoffice.org

2) Move to the build directory: cd openoffice-*

3) Build the package (this might take quite a while):
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

Just a note to say that I think it's the same 'apt-get -b source -t
experimental openoffice.org' and it makes it easier (1 step instead of
those 3) ;)

One more time, openoffice :)

2006-09-21 Thread Rafael Rodríguez
Hi,there are experimental ubuntu amd64-native packages for OpenOffice according to [1]. Apart from that, a couple of days ago non-official packages (re-built from the debian unstable sources) were posted in this list, but I haven't had the time to test them quite a lot. In fact, I have a bug: the first time I start OpenOffice, it crashes, but the second time it works... ?¿
Anyway, anyone knows the state of the former and the latter, or the plans? Rene, are you alive? ;)Greets,Rafael Rodríguez[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/199390/
