Hi, I'm new to this list. I was hoping to build OOo on XP. I've installed "Visual C++ Express Edition" and "Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)"
My command line for configure is getting rather long (all parameters are added due to separate error reports from configure), ./configure --with-cl-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7" --with-jdk-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/Java/j2sdk1.4.2_10" --with-use-shell=tcsh --with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/Program\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin" --with-csc-path="/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322" --with-frame-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft.NET/SDK/v1.1" --disable-directx --with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/apache-ant-1.6.5" Problems: 1 DirectX a) with --with-directx-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)" I get: checking for DirectX SDK files... configure: error: DirectX SDK files not found, please use --with-directx-home or -disable-directx. b) with --disable-directx I get: checking for DirectX SDK files... cat: /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/DirectX SDK/* Doc Path: No such file or directory cygpath: can't convert empty path cygpath: can't convert empty path 2) Can I get these files legally, without bying anything from Microsoft (there is no tools-directory in my "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7")? checking for instmsia.exe/instmsiw.exe... configure: error: instmsia.exe and/or instmsiw.exe are/is missing in the default location. These programs are part of the .NET installation and should be found in a directory similar to: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\Deployment\MsiRedist\" As the automatic detection fails please copy the files to external/msi/. checking for instmsia.exe/instmsiw.exe... configure: error: instmsia.exe and/or instmsiw.exe are/is missing in the default location. These programs are part of the .NET installation and should be found in a directory similar to: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\Deployment\MsiRedist\" As the automatic detection fails please copy the files to external/msi/. 3) If I comment away the test for instmsia.exe I finally get: ******************************************************************** * * * Setting up the build environment variables. * * * ******************************************************************** checking solver path... default configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating set_soenv Setting up the environment for building OpenOffice.org .. är inte ett internt kommando, externt kommando, program eller kommandofil. Setting platform independent values... set_soenv: Cannot figure out what platform you are running For . (I.e. .. is not an internal or external command). What's happening? 4) I'm using Windows XP home edition and trying to compile OOo_2.0.0rc3_src. Is there any hope for me? Do I need to buy programs from MicroSoft (except the OS) to be able to compile OOo on XP? /$ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
