ACK. Build processes should be as predictable and deterministic as possible. Optimally, it should be a function (in mathematical terms) with as few parameters as possible. Things like automatic dependency switching - IOW: automatically switching on/off certain features or linking in certain libraries just by their precense in the building system - is quite dangerous as soon as that build result is put to another system. You neither can rely on a specific feature set (installing or removing one library in the building system may magically change the build output), nor can you know which libraries are actually required at runtime (without deeper analysis of the actual build output). Such behaviour is a nightmare for distro maintainers. cu _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
