ok, so at http://amigaopenoffice.org/index.php?option=com_wikidoc&task=viewcontent... there's a list of some tools, with links to each. Besides thinking they're now mentioned in all 3 wiki pages ( ;-) ), I have the following questions:
1. GCC installer- this is for gcc v2.95-3.4 for AOS3. It's generally a _bad_ thing to try to compile with multiple versions of gcc, and 2.95 is pretty long in the tooth. So: a. Do we have a confirmed gcc/g++ version for: AOS3.X? AOS4/PPC? Links to either?
2. Boost library- I haven't looked at this much, just their home page briefly, but it looks like a C++ utility library for the most part. There may be some investigation needed with respect to using this in code going back to OOo ultimately. I'm also not sure if anyone's determined if this is going to buy us anything (although likely no idea yet).
3. JPEG and zlib libs- what are the min required versions for OOo?
4. tcsh and csh ports- a. are these both 68k ports, or buildable for PPC and AOS4? b. If either one is 'less complete' that the other, it's possible to have buildscripts work on one and not the other. it could be in our best interest to choose one or the other and make that the 'golden standard' for the actual build environment. Anyone?
Thanks,
Scott

Can't speak for tcsh, but csh from Aminet is a 68k program. I can compile it to 68k code with SAS/C, but have not yet tried with gcc. I have no doubt that gcc will ultimately be able to produce pure PPC code for us.
cheers

Apparently there is a 3.33 and a 3.4 version on geekgadgets, but it's stability is unknown. I couldn't even get to the GG site for some reason. GoldED includes an installer for 3.3.3 and Dietmar was looking to support 3.4

It might be an idea to contact Stephen Solie who made the OS4 port and is a general C++ fanatic :-) He should be able to give a better insight.
