Hi,
7.1-ppc is glibc 2.2 based, so it should work. I asked some guys here, they said it took a few weeks to compile it at all on intel. There is no package yet, is it stable enough for shipping a binary package?
Absolutely, YDL 2.0 shipped OO 627 on its Tasty Morsels CD. We (OO) just finished our first milestone build. It is OO633B and I have both an English version and a German version of the installer all built for ppc linux. I have not tested the German build since I can't read any of the buttons in the installer (my German is that bad). Would someone there be able to test either or both of these builds to make sure they work under 7.1 ppc on SuSE? If they do, I would love to have SuSE mirror both for others to grab. If you are interested, I would be happy to ftp them to whereever you want. Both installers are over 50 meg in size. The english version can also be downloaded from http://crunch.ivey.uwo.ca/khendricks/openoffice/ but I have not uploaded the german version anyplace since it has not been tested. The OO633B build is a big improvement over earlier builds in both features and stability (spellchecking and thesaurus for US english), anit-aliased text for tt fonts, etc. The only thing of importance really missing is online help which has yet to be written (and then still has yet to be translated). It is possible for me to make French, German, Danish, Dutch, Greek, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Polish and Japanese builds as well if anyone there is interested enough (you would need a cd-rom just for OO to release the source, and binaries for each language!). Hope this helps, Kevin
