May I insist here. At least for me using Mac OS X 10.3.9, XCode 1.5 plus Nov.04 gcc 3.3 Update, gcc 3.3 it is possible. The only stopper that occured with clean sources of m125 was the one out of IZ51940 and this will be fixed once cws gslpatches4 is checked into main source code tree. I can take a look at gsplpatches cws and if it is obvious that i won't check in soon I may try my best and create a new macosx cws for this patch. The problem is that I started a new job and that I currently have not that much time for OOo and it is even hard for me these days to build it and even harder to find some spare time in which I can learn to code. Sadly we only learned Turbo Pascal in school and a lot of theory about planing process for software etc but no real coding practice and before OOo and Mac OS X and OpenSource there was no need for me to learn coding. The other stoppers are packing problems. If you let epm pack OOo without any patches that we currently use those problems won't occure but in the end you will have 17 single pkg Packages and that is nothing a Mac User likes to install. They want Drag'n'Drop or one mtpkg and to get this far we need those patches who cause the problem. The only really bug in functionallity is the WebWizard AWT bug but here we are investigating.
