Universal binary of OpenOffice.org running on PowerPC based Macintosh

I have finished first build of OpenOffice.org milestone SRC680_m147. Still manual tweaking needed, this time because of one wrong dependency inside OpenOffice.org source tree, thus the next build will be completely clean with no manual tweaking so I can also upload full build log for future reference and checking.
macmini:~ oo$ ps -xuww|grep s[o]ffice.bin
oo   23483   0.0 14.6   248760  76764  ??  S     9:31AM   0:13.81 \
/Volumes/OpenOffice.org 2/.../program/soffice.bin -
macmini:/Volumes/OpenOffice.org 2/.../program oo$ file soffice.bin
soffice.bin: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures
soffice.bin (for architecture i386):    Mach-O executable i386
soffice.bin (for architecture ppc):     Mach-O executable ppc
And now the steps needed to get there
  • modules bridges, python and pyuno are still not universal. Only PowerPC version. python is doable. pyuno is not universal only because python is PowerPC-only. We do not have bridges for Intel so far.
  • I build with disabled mozilla for now.
I'm now uploading the installation disk image to ftp.linux.cz:
83cad15682db414bbc525e272e04fb75 OpenOffice.org-2.0_en-US.dmg 207408798 bytes
The patches you need are in my build system, patches named UB-*.

I do not think it will work on Intel based Macintoshes yet, but you can try it. As I already said several times, you can't bought one yet without limiting your freedom, thus I can't test it (limiting my freedom is unacceptable for me). -----
