Yes, but that is because it is enforced by the configure and buildscripts, not because of the actual sourcefiles. Those would surely work with a 10.6 SDK as well (well, maybe you get some "foo is deprecated" warnings). > I cannot > remember now, it has been a few months since I built on Mac (it was 3.2.1). > I tried to build OO.o with 10.6 SDK and gcc 4.2.1 and OO.o then crashed > during smoketest. You most likely didn't catch all occurrences that need to be adjusted (a few external modules have it set as well), and smoketest crashing is not something very reliable anyway (unless you're building the exact same milestone). Personally I'm still against relaxing this requirement though. Developers will almost everytime have more recent OS/Buildenvironment than 10.4, thus you will get 10.5/6'isms into the code that will break 10.4 compatibility. Thus when allowing to build with 10.6 as SDK, you're starting the countdown to remove 10.4 support. It is not that OOo would have tons of dedicated Mac programmers that can maintain different codepaths for 10.4 and 10.5 and even a third for 10.6. I mean even tha java awt one is still unfixed. It is hackarounded so that the OOo-supplied beanshell editor/debugger can now be launched, but external extensions are out of luck. The python-question remained without decision (system 2.3 and not being able to use pyuno from outside OOo or ship with interal python) - not even all patches have been applied, let alone taking a decision. But I put my personal focus on LibreOffice anyway (but still run the OOo-MacPPC tinderbox, thus I'll build OOo until it is no longer possible, but I'm no longer actively dealing with the now more-frequent-again build-issues on the milestones - if it breaks, it breaks. If I'm pointed to a patch, I'll apply it, but I won't hunt for the reasons myself anymore) Also telling enough that while the mac@porting list was initially addressed as well, the discussion only continues on dev@porting... The "people want to save diskspace" argument was written with a smiley, but be honest - when building a beast like OOo, and thus you have to dedicate 8GB for building anyway, you can spare that few megs for the 10.4u sdk, can't you?. As far as I know there is no separate XCode that doesn't include the 10.4u SDK, thus you just have to rerun the installer to install it. my 0,02€ ciao Christian -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
