It's also possible to compile it with the MS VC++ compiler without the VC++ runtimes :) There are plans to use MinGW to compile LibreOffice in the future, but for now it's experimental and unstable, and we still need to do a lot of work and testing before we can ship it. But we will do it in the long term. -- Jesús Corrius <[email protected]> Document Foundation founding member Skype: jcorrius | Twitter: @jcorrius -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to [email protected] Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***
