I would think..that having to deal with this single issue, outlined below, that Michael and Tor would send me a sample of sc unit tests migrated over to a console application or at least a linux application, built as a standalone app, with a main in it.
That would be a good gesture.

Tor and Michael insisted it worked. They even let me download a tar of a recent set of files, that had built ok. I duplicated their directory structure. And my build still failed. Wow. So I did a forensic on the env. And I discovered that Norton Antivirus was isolating state files and some executables being built by the LibreOffice build system. So I asked Tor..hey..what brand of antivirus do you use? I'll switch over. He had turned his off too. So that alone took two to three weeks. I even had to resort to buying a new machine...devoted to libreoffice. $300 machine. Trying to solve why my builds were failing on windows. If an antivirus was turned on when LibreOffice staffers do builds..then they would have had to correct something..so that Norton Antivirus would not decide that a virus had been generated. This is probably why Michael and Tor rememeber me for too many emails. What the heck is going on here? I would email them. how can you claim your stuff builds? -----Original Message----- From: LibreOffice [mailto:libreoffice-boun...@lists.freedesktop.org] On Behalf Of Michael Meeks Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 4:55 PM To: nicholas ferguson Cc: libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org; 'jonathon' Subject: Re: examples to manage docs using LibreOffice as a major component On Tue, 2014-09-30 at 16:50 -0400, nicholas ferguson wrote: > LibreOffice has a terrible high cost of entry..at least for windows. Sure - you're not wrong. Then again, it is particularly high for developers with 'old' machines - lots of compilers etc. [ which is a shame ]. It's even higher for those with no / intermittent internet connections who want stuff mailed to them. It's also quite high for those with enough knowledge to be dangerous - trying a series of funky hack arounds etc. Fixes much appreciated; I'd love to get LibreOffice building out of the box on your machine (FWIW) - if we could work out how to auto-detect and defeat whatever problems there are in configure.ac that would help others I have no doubt; patches welcome.
