OpenOffice for FreeBSD ARM: any taker?

[Pedro Giffuni]

Hello;

Recently a volunteer had success in bringing FreeBSD PPC support to 
Apache OpenOffice. There is some interest in maintaining better support 
for FreeBSD and AOO has support for ARM32. It appears openjdk works too 
so I gave a  try on copying the internal necessary code from the 
linux/gcc port and provide the start of a FreeBSD arm32 port (aarch64 is 
not available, sorry).

It is likely to take quite a long time to build and I suspect there may 
be some effort required to build the "bridges" code with arm-clang as 
well. It is completely untested but, as of today, the 
editors/openoffice-devel (upstream r1780246)port should be in good shape 
to get a real port started, should any volunteer wish to step in and 
finish it.

Of course, I would be glad to help upstream changes as required: I just 
don't have an ARM platform but I am sure it would be nice to have 
OpenOffice on it ;).

Regards,

Pedro.
