--- Comment #7 from Davin McCall <[email protected]> ---
bfoman:

Well, the bug is primarily about "make install" failure. The cause of that was
a too-old version of tar, as per comments above, which I think should either be
identified or at least cause a build error during "make" processing. I can
check whether this has been fixed and will do so soon; if so I'll close the
bug, although no-ones even confirmed it yet, so there's little evidence at this
point that anything's been done about it.

As for the other things you mention:
- "Native Build" page doesn't say how to build from release tarballs, and it
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere which tarballs I need
- distro-configs are potentially useful but also not mentioned in build
documentation
- "Configure options" page doesn't say what the configure options actually
affect. For instance,

   --disable-mozilla     LibO usually includes a strangely hacked up mozilla
binary for your platform, to build without this version, use this option.

  What functionality is affected by this, though? (yes, partially answered by
Joel above, but not documented). Also, the text is ambiguous - "to build
without this version, use this option" - does that mean if I use this option,
it will build with some other version?

- a mailing list is not documentation!
- sure, next time I build I may try to update the wiki to include information
on building from tarballs and point to the distro configs.

Thanks.
