I remember me removing gnucp requirement, I remember me fixing JDK-detection,... So yes, the build-experience was improved. But that doesn't matter/is even more a reason to get rid of the duplicated build instructions. We need a guide for current OOo, not for OOo as it was three or four years ago. And since you seem to agree with me that building OOo is (now) simple, I don't understand why you disagree. When did you last hear a question about building OOo that is not already answered by configure's output itself? When did you hear a question that is not already answered on the current build-guide? Just because people ask questions, doesn't mean it is because of the complexity of the build-system. In fact I never heard questions about building OOo on Mac on IRC. Mac/Aqua really is the most smiple platform to build on. Install XCode and you got all you need. (prebuilt mozilla/unowinreg.dll, ccache, and on older systems subversion being the only additional tools you need. you need. And further thing: If it really is complicated, the build system needs work, as it has received in the past. Ideally you should not need any configure switches (mac only needs --with-use-shell=bash (well, not needed, but you really should use it) --disable-build-mozilla (use prebiult zips) and that's about it. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
