>Description:
OpenOffice pkg build uses configure arg --with-jdk-home=${JAVA_HOME}
to tell openoffice configure script where is root of selected
JDK (openoffice requires sun-jdk13). bsd.pkg.mk puts the root
to internal variable ${_JAVA_HOME}; if ${JAVA_HOME} is unset,
it also sets ${JAVA_HOME} the same way.
If user has JAVA_HOME set for use of different jdk, or incorrect
altogether, the OpenOffice build fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
export JAVA_HOME=/nonexistant
cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/openoffice && make
watch if fail on start of do-build target
>Fix:
Probably either use ${_JAVA_HOME} for --with-jdk-home= arg, or
export the selected JDK root via some other variable
(PKG_JAVA_HOME? - proposed on tech-pkg@). Another option
is to set JAVA_HOME in bsd.pkg.mk unconditionally; this might
be the 'right' thing to do even, since some packages might
use value of $JAVA_HOME internally during build/configure.
