Issues during the build (this is true with m172)

uudecode

This is related to

• Installed the Java package from Suse 9.3
• Installed the JDK in another location
• You try to build using the JDK just downloaded

connectivity

When trying to build the connectivity project, the following error my be displayed :

TODO : Here add the error !! (~ "needs libstdc++.so.6)

This happens if you try to build OOo using the pre-build mozilla packages (LINUXGCCIinc.zip, LINUXGCCIlib.zip and LINUXGCCIruntime.zip) and to compile OOo using gcc < 3.4.

Here is the situation :

• By default, Suse 9.3 uses gcc 3.3.5 and libstdc++.so.5
• The prebuild mozilla packages were build using gcc 3.4 and libstdc++.so.6

So, you can not use those pre-build packages and need to compile your own mozilla packages as it is described on the tools project page.
