Attempting to build OpenOffice 2 on CentOS 4 from rawhide (future FC5) SRPM. The spec file has EL4 target (which is nice), and I got almost all dependencies in place (mostly from 4.2beta and some from rawhide). However, I'm missing the ant package. Ant from rawhide doesn't compile since it is already gcc 4 based (fails on dependencies, getting it to use gcc4 instead of gcc seems like nice piece of work, but I might be wrong, I might need to do it after all). Similar story with FC4 ant SRPM. CentOS doesn't have ant RPM at all. FC3 (which is the closest match to EL4/CentOS4) doesn't have it either.
Has anybody managed to rebuild ant SRPM on CentOS 4.x?

Did you try JPackage?

Not yet, but I'll give it a try. There's no el4 specific RPM, so I'll try with generic one. The only thing I'm affraid is that it will use java from gcc package (gcc v3), while openoffice itself depends on java from gcc4 package. Anyhow, I'll try and see how it works out.

Just for the record, the OpenOffice 2.0 RC1 from the openoffice.org site:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0rc/index-nojs.html
has RPMS that install on CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 without any major issues. For everything to work, you also need to install a JRE (I used the latest SUN JRE).
