Hi Regina
Thank you for the advice here. I followed what you said and moved the source into the root of C drive, placing it in a directory with no special characters. I did subsequently encounter an issue with building the modules associated with the SDK, but I re-ran configure with SDK disabled using the --disable-odk command. Accordingly, the build completed and I was able to install from the build. I will not move onto some of the tutorials kindly provided on the OO wiki and have a go at hacking some of the code on my own computer. Hopefully from there I can tackle some of the smaller issues identified on Bugzilla and so make a meaningful contribution.

I have always use a directory directly under C: I have always use names without special characters. I have never tried to put the source somewhere inside cygwin, so I cannot say, whether that is possible. To test, whether the tmp directory is the problem, please move the folder aoo-4.1.1 under C: and rename it to e.g. aoo411 You need to remove all remainders of previous build tries then. In cygwin change to the main folder of your source, then use the following command (all in one line) find . -maxdepth 2 -name "wntmsci12*" | xargs rm -rf In addition you have to manually delete the wntmsci12* folders in main/solver in all subfolders of ext_libraries in all subfolders of extras Start with a new configure with parameters. Hopefully it works better then.
