GNU Linux Sparc Porting
The objective is to maintain the complete upstream sources so that the GNU/Linux sparc platform can be packaged for example by debian, gentoo and others. Also to provide an upstream "benchmark" released version that can be used for confirming who owns any bugs.
For GNU/Linux sparc all building now is done with gcj. As gcj is developing rapidly it is preferred to use the latest version. The latest gcj version that can be used comes with gcc4.0.x pre-release which is updated approximately weekly.
It should be better to use gcc4.1 but that depends on some changes coming soon (maybe in cws_src680_sb40?). Therefore the current project is to build with gcc4.1
Other projects that need more work:
- fix multimedia (sound is working but needs Java Media Framework with gij)
- qa with testtool
- very slow startup (depends on javaldx?)
The latest upstream release is on mirrors under pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/linuxsparc
