Moin,
there are two things about building OOo that need to be clarified.
Currently we use "configure" to set the build environment. The way we
are doing it requires that a few GPLed files are part of our code
repository:
acinclude.m4
aclocal.m4
config.guess
config.sub
configure
"configure" is generated from "configure.in" that AFAIK is owned by
Oracle and also resides in OOo's code repository.
How can we do that in a code repository hosted at apache.org?
The next problem is the build system itself. We have started to move
our code to a new build system using GNU Make, but there is still a
lot of code that uses another make tool, dmake.
Switching to GNU Make completely now may also be a good learning
experience for all developers new to the code base.
Christian.
