No, just the information on the tools page is a bit outdated... Most probably, there are some .rpm's or .deb's built in instsetoo_native for you (not sure ATM what exactly are the default settings). The most recent info should be in the wiki, http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page, but the 'up-stream' way of building is there not described that well - you'll be safer following the 'ooo-build' way. Out of interest - why do you want to build OOo? If you want to develop it, show up on #go-oo (or #dev.openoffice.org) channel on irc.freenode.net, lots of developers is hanging around there :-) Regards, Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
