Re: OOo and CUPS on AMD64
I had OOo working back when alioth was still the main server, but cannot get it working from our current server. Anyone have any luck with the deb's on http://amd64.debian.net/debian/? They all seem to point as openoffice.org-bin (pulling this off the top of my head since I am not at my box right now) as an unmet dependencie. -John

Re: OOo and CUPS on AMD64
The deb's on alioth used to run with out a 32bit chroot, I was trying to avoid having one if I didn't need it and OOo is the only thing I have come across which isn't 64bit compatable yet. -John On 5/10/05, Giacomo Mulas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 10 May 2005, John Baab wrote: I had OOo working back when alioth was still the main server, but cannot get it working from our current server.

Re: OOo and CUPS on AMD64
At some point there was a working deb of OOo, 1.1.2 I believe, on alioth. It installed fine other than forcing a shared file issue with ia32-libs. It was actually 32bit though not 64bit, that is the closest I have seen anyone in here get. As far as I know, I haven't seen any other 64bit distros running OOo. It has been said that 2.0 should be able to build 64bit cleanly. -John On 5/10/05, A J Stiles [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 10 May 2005 12:40, Jerome Warnier wrote: Is OOo (32bits, of course) supposed to work with CUPS on Debian for AMD64?

I thought the whole idea of using C and C++ was that it shouldn't care if it's running on a 32-bit processor, a 64-bit processor or a 4-bit processor . But C and C++ allow casting things (both implicitly and explicitly) between values and pointers and other stupid things, and that doesn cause problems when you used the wrong type and move to 64bit. So many things have used int to store memory addresses when void* would have been the right thing instead, and they will fail to work on 64bit systems. Also something mix pointer types back and forth and happen to work because of the size of those types, and on 64bit systems they are often different (ie int is 32bit on both 32 and 64bit linux systems in general, while long is 32bit on 32bit systems and 64bit on 64bit systems). Well written and carefully written C/C++ code should just recompile and work. Sloppy code on the other hand (and there is quite a bit of that) breaks. If you are lucky the compiler can warn you about the problem, but sometimes it has no idea what the programmer was trying to do.
