Updating gcc
I have decided (due to various changes I do not want to describe here, because I'm still mad about
them ;-) to update my gcc to the same version as Hamburg RE is using for building
OpenOffice.org. They use gcc-3.4.1 with
visibility and
enum patches.
While doing so, I realized that current OpenOffice.org build environment is not ready for it. Why?
You need to link with
g++, but
config_office/set_soenv.in
exports
LINK=gcc to the environment (
#i37731#). There is no clear way
for switching between gcc-3.3 (
CVER=C300) and newer gcc-3.4 (
CVER=341
aka
unxlngi6). I've changed my tree manually to use Hamburg
RE's
unxlngi6.mk.
... I also had an interesting discussion with Ause about cooperative work on not-yet-ready
milestones ("Why does my build (correctly!) broke on xml:lang in
officecfg module and
Sun's does not?") and community-RE.
