Thanks all for the value able feedback. It shows how difficult it is to get the right direction.
I think Ant is easier then gmake. But maybe this is only a treachery impression. And we do use both systems. (Next to dmake somehow, but I think at least there is no mix between dmake and gmake. Or I got it wrong. ;) ) Okay, I will try to support gmake for now. Important is in the first step the difficulty drops to build OpenOffice. And I try to slice everything down into smaller to swallowable pieces. Only small turns. Since most topics I have are architectural issues.
