Re: Android Port?

Hi Zachary,

I did not hear about somebody starting such a port. I know that a port 
for Linux arm-eabi has been done by Caolán McNamara and by Peter Naulis 
which I believe might be a good starting point but It's just a guess 
because this is not my expertise. If you want to volunteer on porting 
OpenOffice.org to Android then please contact the team at the porting 
project at http://porting.openoffice.org. Be aware that porting to the 
underlying processor architecture on one operating system platform is 
just a starting point. I believe that there's a lot more work to be done 
to get the OpenOffice.org's UI to render on Android. And maybe some of 
the tooling needed has to be ported and/or to be improved before 
starting with the rest. For example I do not know if the gcc cross 
compilation to arm-eabi will manage the whole build. Maybe the somehow 
stripped libc (called bionic) on Android won't provide all symbols 
needed (just a guess...).

Why do you prefer to have it on Honeycomb instead of having it on 
Gingerbread or on Froyo or on earlier systems instead ? I would love to 
see it on my Froyo device... Or maybe you want to plan to make int run 
on the current development codline Ice Cream which is planned to merge 
2.x and 3.x codelines together ?
