I think you would need to have a 32-bit cupsys-client running in the chroot
and a 64-bit cupsys server. But all this mucking around with a 32-bit chroot
just sounds like teaching a cat to bark ..... the real solution would be a
64-bit version of OpenOffice. According to the OO.org team, it's been done
already; but I can't find the necessary files for love nor money.
Has anyone had any luck getting the OpenOffice.org sources to compile cleanly
under 64-bit Debian? I tried pulling the latest CVS, and had a partial
success after doing some hacking. But unfortunately, I got sidetracked; and
now I can't get it to work at all .....
Just what tricks did they pull to make OpenOffice.org so flaky anyway?! I
thought the whole idea of using C and C++ was that it shouldn't care if it's
running on a 32-bit processor, a 64-bit processor or a 4-bit processor .....
