I've successfully built Libreoffice-4.3.7 on FreeBSD 10.2/PowerPC64, that has menu icons, toolbars and graphics. With the exception of the Base application, everything seems to be working correctly.
To get it to build, I had to take the "hatchet" approach, due to a flaw in the big/little endian logic in the code. The code does not seem to be defining "OSL_BIGENDIAN" properly, thus testing fails and defaults to little endian. I removed and/or commented the code tests for "OSL_BIGENDIAN" in most modules where it appeared. Leaving the software hard coded for "big endian". I believe the issue with the Base application is due to the "hatchet" that was taken to the code. Armed with this knowledge, I working to find and correct the flawed endian logic and develop patches. I'm sure the results will be easily repeatable for LO5.
