Well, this is just a resend of the first message, though, with proper links to the patches. 1. Do not add compiler default include and library path: potentially build against different version of system library than requested by the user (i.e., /usr/local/lib vs /usr/lib). Report: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65976 Fix: http://code.google.com/p/gekis-playground/source/browse/trunk/app-office/libreoffice/files/pre/config_office-XINC-XLIB-defaults.diff 2. Add a configure option to disable Python2 (PyUNO) bindings. Python3 is available for more than two years. Noone cares, therefore rest in peace. Python2 is going to be ditched at some point. Simply do not fail then. Windows builds need to be updated for BUILD_TYPE: "PYUNO". Or how is it handled nowadays? Report: none Fix: http://code.google.com/p/gekis-playground/source/browse/trunk/app-office/libreoffice/files/pre/disable-python.diff 3. Fix sandbox violation in officecfg module: rm /bin/<language>.zip Report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251932 Fix: http://code.google.com/p/gekis-playground/source/browse/trunk/app-office/libreoffice/files/pre/gentoo-sandbox.diff 4. Add a configure option to search only in one place for JVMs, which is quite interesting for Linux Distributions. Enforce the user to place JVMs in one base directory. Report: none Fix: http://code.google.com/p/gekis-playground/source/browse/trunk/app-office/libreoffice/files/pre/jvm-search-path.diff 5. Fix build for libxml-2.7.8 with ICU support. Report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355185 Fix: http://code.google.com/p/gekis-playground/source/browse/trunk/app-office/libreoffice/files/pre/libxmlsec_fix_extern_c.diff Well, that is it. The patches may be applied cleanly in the above order.
