Hi, Actually you can technically use gcc 2.95.X and later with OOo under PPC Linux but I build with gcc 3.1.1 or later due to bug fixes and things that are needed. I do not recommend building with gcc 3.0.X under PPC Linux at all. But the bridge code and things still exist if someone wants to try building with gcc 2.95.4 but since neither Jan or I build with that gcc version anymore, you might run into some build difficulties that you would have to work around. You can also simply use the pre-built OOo 1.0.1 binary available directly from the OOodownload page in a section with locations for ppc links (check out penguinppc.org for example). That binary should install and work well on Debian as it does on most other PPC Linux distributions but please note it does not have Debian specific packaging changes in it.

Hi ..Any plans to backport to Woody? This version brings a lot of bug corrections that affect also Woody. I now have machines with enough disk space and power to compile it myself, but this version is not "buildable" as such.It is :) ... I got a successfully build for PPC .. (but with newer binutils/gcc)I'm trying to do it myself, but I run into some (small) problems: - why is a newer debhelper version needed? (is it really needed?)because debhelper has a bug, which makes OOo unpackageble ...- do we really have to backport g++-3.2 to Woody, or is there another solution?for PPC yes! Upstream dropped the support for older gcc on linux-ppc as gcc-3.1.1. On Intel we can use the gcc-3.0 from, I think! Regards Jan -- .''`.
