So I've fixed two things in the NeoOffice 2.0 build and they will be included in today's 3:00 pm anoncvs sync:
1. I updated my NeoOffice custom sal code to fix the crashing at launch and failure to create the ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-2.x directory.
2. I added additional steps to the NeoOffice installer build to fix the File -> Wizard errors. I did this by ensuring that all of the missing empty directories that are included in the Windows, Linux, and Solaris installations are also added into the NeoOffice installation. I noticed that the OOo X11 Mac installer does not create these empty directories.
Since Ed made a change that will force the OOo portion of the build to rerun, you will need to do the following steps. Note that if your build has progressed past the OOo portion of the build, things are much more complicated so let me know if you need those instructions:
1. Verify that you build is still in the OOo portion of the build (i.e. there are no build/*/unxmacxp.pro.oo directories)
2. Kill your NeoOffice build
3. cd to the neojava directory, rm -Rf the sal module, and invoke cvs update -d
4. Reinvoked make in the neojava directory
I got that fix. And I had to revert all of the unxmacxp.pro.oo directories....
Luckily, I found this after sal failed to build with an error that a java/inc file could not be found....
I guess I'm just lucky that way.
Update The build using gcc-3.3 from XCode 2.2 finished and will start on Tiger. There are things that need to be 'fixed' but they are Patrick's for now.
I will start a build today with gcc-4.0.1 to test Ed's fixes that only affect this build system.

Another gcc4.0.1 foible, but I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this on gcc3 or other builds...
Apparently something in XCode 2.2.1/gcc4.0.1 enjoys ruminating on automation/source/testtool/objtest.cxx. Thus far, it's been compiling this single 4k line test file for about 3 hours. Anyone else see this fun bovine impersonation during their build?
Are you trying to build NeoOffice or just OpenOffice.org 2.0 with gcc-4.0.1?

Right now all my recent fixes are being worked back into head. I am targeting gcc4.0.1 with HEAD/MAIN on PowerPC. The goal is to make sure the most recent PPC code can build with the tools needed to do the x86 targeting. I'm not tackling any endianness issues at this time but am hoping to split up the toolchain dependencies out first to ease the transition.

Thanks Ed. I think I might have found a problem with the salmenu.cxx. Patrick gave a suggestion on how to fix it, but that did not work. I'm investigating the header files....

Update: Base OOo compiles fully with gcc4.0.1, however there is a problem in the instsetoo_native project on my build that prevents the base OOo build from completing. Forcing module rebuild didn't solve the problem, so I'll need to debug further. The multilanguage build support in OOo 2.x is really smoking crack and is trying to process languages even if they don't have localized files (something Patrick has run into as well).
Unfortunately, at this point I can't verify if there are any issues in the Neo code itself as pertains to gcc4.0.1 as I'm stuck on this OOo install set build problem. Aside from installation set assembly, however, the two patches to disable optimizations should allow the entire core OOo to build. I don't know if it's functional beyond the fact that some of the basic build tools using the registery have finished successfully which is always a good sign that the c++ helper glue isn't completely horked for a new compiler revision.

I agree with this. However, I tried to get XCode 2.2.1 yesterday and it is considered 'pre-release'. How this can be and it be required for Intel building, I don't know, but that's Apple for you.

I do know that OpenOffice.org does build and run with the XCode 2.2 gcc 4.0.1 as I've built it and run it. I should have a complete build of NeoOffice with the same gcc version later today (it is packaging right now.)
Update The build finished but would not run. I think that I futzed up the NeoSpotlight install, so I'm working on a further build.
None of the external language packs would build either.

No, they did do a full release of it (I think) since I remember them updating the Universal guidelines to recommend 2.2.1. Regardless, it should build and hopefully the language pack issue can be solved easily. I didn't actually look at it in depth yesterday except by forcing a module rebuild.
The NeoLight install shouldn't affect Neo itself running. It's only a spotlight plugin and is never loaded by the application, only the mds daemon. If it's not running then there may be some other problem with the bridges or something for gcc4.0.1. I don't recall seeing changes in the ABI, but didn't look that in depth.

If you go to the Developer pages, you can only download 2.2 without logging in. If 2.2.1 were available, I think the page would state so. However, Apple as been known to sneek in a .1 release (Tiger is still listed as 10.4 although the DVDs have been refreshed since the original release.)

I just faked downloading the .tgz file and put it in the install directory. A little editing of the makefile and all is well. No, it still does not run. And Patrick's fixes should not have broke it. I may have done so and will have to back out to fresh code and start again. I will update the BugZilla issue.
I'm also going to rerun the build, I think I found the added patch that futzed up the build.

2.2.1 *is* available officially if you log in to ADC (free membership), along with all other Xcode versions. While it's nice Apple is putting Xcode out for download on the public ADC site, if they're not pushing updates to the public site too, well,
Apple's been very inconsistent about the manner in which they announce/push Xcode updates. 1.0.1 came via software update, and maybe 1.1, too. But 1.5 and above have been download only (excepting whichever version comes with 10.4.0). I think it was Eric H. who pointed me to the ADC newsletter after I wondered about 1.5's existance; that bi-weekly mailing always announces the latest official Xcode and other developer tools/docs/sample code updates.

I also built successfully Neo 2 with gcc 4.0, but the program just busy-loops, when started. Nothing is shown and soffice.bin -process is using about 30-40% of CPU all the time. I quickly looked at crash.log (after force-quitting), but there wasn't anything alarming straight-away.

I posted the crash.log to bug 1332
This looks, strangely, like the same results that I got. I'm rerunning the build to make sure it was not something that I did with the 2.0.2 code.
Also, can we all please ATTACH crashlogs to the issues?

Well the build finished with the latest/greatest from Patrick and it works!
It is a little slow, but definately functions.
Does this mean there is a NeoOffice 2.0 pre-alpha building with gcc 4? That would open up neat possibilities...
Anyway I am glad to hear it is functioning. I hope you, Mox, Ed and Patrick do your magic. April getting close and everyone's setting on the edge of their seats .
Best wishes,
