And OOo only takes 5½ hours to compile.. :p
Not on my 1GHz G4 iBook, for which there are no binary packages
available. It takes around 15 hours :(
So when are the Openoffice people going to break it into separate
packages (Write, Calc, etc.) like KDE did? This would get rid of
that nonsense of 15 hrs for a single package build.
haha, good joke, nice one, you just made my day.
Oh wait, you mean you're serious? Erm, well, I once did have a peek into
the OOo makefiles and what I saw there was .... scary. If no-one has
had the courage so far to separate out the packages, I really wouldn't
hold it against them.

LOL! Hadn't realized it was that bad. Wonder who the culprit is? The
original German group that wrote it or Sun when they got their hands on it.
