Hello Regina, I think I have seen it alongside with all the other pages, but I have been working from this page for some reason : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Windows
We ought to recommend that page from the other Windows Build Pages, and the main, general build page to direct new people to the proper source. Is there another way to build OOo, other than with Cygwin? Does the MinGW version of the tool chain work? If not, should it? Are there any other known good windows build environments?
