But that doesn't work, that's the point. Running "./autogen.sh --with-system-libs" fails as soon as it finds one external library that does not exist system-wide (and there's pretty much bound to be one, given what all kinds of libs we use). So one has to try, fail, add one --without-system-foo, and repeat until it builds. And try again with next distro upgrade, or carry a growing list of options. Thinking of it, it'd be probably enough if --with-system-libs acted as --with-system-foo=auto for all such external libs. -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
