[Nix-dev] libreoffice build is broken

[Bjørn Forsman]

Hi all,

The libreoffice build is currently broken. From
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/7895542/nixlog/1/tail-reload:

I did a build on my local machine and here is a bit more info from config.log:

I wonder if the issue has to do with "multiple outputs", as there was
recently some changes in openjdk regarding that. From the config.log
above I can see

  Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in
/nix/store/fj90f1gagz2iyipbmzc78rz3aas88zaj-openjdk-7u40b43-jre/lib/openjdk/lib/tools.jar

but on my machine tools.jar is not located in the "openjdk-jre"
output, but in the plain "openjdk" output.

And further:

  Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
  It is currently set to
"/nix/store/fj90f1gagz2iyipbmzc78rz3aas88zaj-openjdk-7u40b43-jre/lib/openjdk/jre"

So it seems that maybe libreoffice needs "jdk" and not "jre"? The only
weird part is that it *is* jdk that is in buildInput, not "jre"...
