I was using cvs from cmd.exe, not from cygwin. "cvs --version" refererred to http://www.cvsnt.org I initially fetched a few separate modules. I might have had incompatible versions. I also had a go at fetching everything from one big rc3.tar.gx(?) file and then cvs. Well I think I haven't done it in a very straight forward way... I've now fetched everything from scratch from within cygwin.

Aha, I was surprized that all modules were placed in the root folder and not in OpenOffice. I was trying to do as it is said in http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html#BuildingaFullBuildofOpenOffice, but that can never have worked then (the cvs update part). > Just to mention it here, this is not the first time that checkout problems > for the whole OpenOffice alias are reported.

I'll try to use that next time, thanks for the link. I need to be able to compile first. I'll make a new thread for my problems with that. Thanks for the answers, they really help me not to give up. /$ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
