We are seeing a fair number of folks who want to work on a specific aspect or module of AOO. This is not unexpected, of course.
This is the information for how to do partial builds from the new Build Guide: [1] http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO#Partial_Builds This is the information from the old Tools information: [2a] http://www.openoffice.org/tools/build_env_tools.html [2b] http://www.openoffice.org/tools/tools/build.html I actually used the "build --all:<prjname>" for what I was doing... So my questions. I don't know if new developers should necessarily know if a change is compatible or not. Would just ONE set of instructions in the Building Guide work for both cases? ...and Would the dmake instructions work for both dmake and make? (Something I think is probably another point of confusion for new developers.) ...and Could we use a syntax that is more like what is found in [2b] for all cases? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "You can't believe one thing and do another.
