My problem is that everyone is eager to start new projects, new efforts instead of improviing what is there already. My problem is that if you really feel the need of simplifying the build, then don't do it by adding instructions, but by actually making the build itself simpler. > Maybe you missed the goal of > Per's work, it is simply the consolidation of several different pages into > one new place, Seems like my points didn't come through either. I'm all for removing duplication in the build instructions. I was against duplication in the past already. So full support on that item from my side. > [...] > And i think you look on it with the wrong glasses. You are very familiar > with all this stuff and it's clear for you as well as for others. No. I did compile OOo myself for the first time in the past as well. At that time, I just did read the instructions and off it went. I did look for info. I didn't assume I know already. > Great you > can read configure but many others not. I didn't speak about reading configure itself, but reading the output of configure, i.e. what configure tells you to do when you run it. That's a big difference. If configure prints "get <file> from <URL> or use mingw" and people still complain about not being able to tell where to get <file>, that sepaks for itself. > [...] > The work Per is doing is not for the developers we already have it is > probably more for new ones. Probably that's another part of the problem I have. This makes it sound like there wouldn't be any documenation for new builders at all. That's just not the case. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
