Hi,
I am stuck in a problem while building AOO. While calling configure using
the command
SDK_PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0"
./configure \
--with-frame-home="$SDK_PATH" \
--with-psdk-home="$SDK_PATH" \
--with-midl-path="$SDK_PATH/bin" \
--with-directx-home="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft DirectX SDK (June
2010)" \
--with-cl-home="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
11.0/VC/bin" \
--with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.9.4" \
--with-dmake-url="
http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2"; \
--with-epm-url="
http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz"; \
--enable-pch \
--disable-atl \
--disable-activex \
--without-junit
I am getting the following error:
Can't find MS Visual Studio / VC++ at ./oowintool line 236.
configure: error: oowintool failed to copy CRT
Can anyone please help me regarding this as I am stuck from a while now.
Thanks,
Ankit
