Thanks Mathias, I have seen some of those posts on LO, but I didn't see/understand details.
I can imagine there are differences because of changes in how VS2010 uses MSBuild, although I don't know why command-line use of cl.exe from the Make would have changed. It will be interesting to find out exactly what changed that is a problem. I suppose the idea would be to find out how to make it work with 2010 (I am slow anyhow), with the goal of building a win-64bit version of OO.o. If there are C++ Language changes, that is a bigger problem of course. I will keep looking for what is necessary. I have VC++ 2008 Express Edition and SDK 7.0 on my Tablet PC. It can probably be used for a reality check. Based on what you said about doing a build from a USB drive, I think I can work on the Tablet PC and build from a shared folder on my local network. Thanks for the feedback. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Mathias Bauer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 01:02 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Who wants to build OpenOffice?

I remember some posts on the LibreOffice dev list, Tor Lillquist, Jesús Corrius and others. Regards, Mathias
