I'm trying to slim down OOo, compiling from source using as many system libraries as possible. One of those libraries is db4, but it requires the java bindings too- could --enable-java be added to the configure options? Thanks!
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Won't implement, and also not needed anymore: openoffice doesn't use java bindings for DB anymore.

Does this pull in a (make)depend on jre or gcc-gcj? if so, we won't include it.
Comment by asd asd (izaak) - Friday, 21 July 2006, 14:57 GMT
yes, it requires j2sdk, only as a make depend. why is that a problem?
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Friday, 21 July 2006, 15:16 GMT
DB is a base system package, how should that depend on a package in extra?
Comment by asd asd (izaak) - Friday, 21 July 2006, 15:19 GMT
why not move j2sdk to base if this sort of dependency exists?

the alternative is that packages like openoffice have to be built with internally linked libraries.

I guess another alternative is to add a db-java package.

I also have this problem in my OOo PKGBUILD http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=5813
I have kept a note in the PKGBUILD about this issue. I have to use the db that comes in the OOo source tarball instead.
