Building openjade

[Robert Knight]

In preparation for building local test rpms, I tried

yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

and found that openjade was required but not available from

http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/mnt/koji/mash/15/

so, after a little Google action, I came across Matthew Burgess's patch 
for openjade to make it build on gcc 4.6.0 at

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.beyond.support/42555

(there's probably a better URL for this.)  His patch works in that it 
corrects the problem with building openjade.  I do not know whether the 
code actually works.

I'm ignorant of the protocols for using patches found on the web, so I 
don't know whether this can just be used.  The real difficult is that 
openjade was last built for Fedora 13, which was not a ppc Fedora 
release, so there is no way to just carry the F13 rpm forward.

I hope this is helpful and that the list is the right place to report this.

Hi,
I've discussed fix with maintainer. He committed a patch from
sourceforge.net. There is available the build for ppc F16
