OK, I see.. yet another flag to add to my build script :(. I hope we get --with-system-icu --with-system-python because a lot packages are having problem with the new FreeBSD 10 (configure gets confused with FreeBSD 1) and it would be a mess to patch them in OOo too. Now that I think of it, the external sources tarball is rather dead end we should set system libraries for everything by default. > on MacOSX OOo does not build the internal libxml2/libxslt > but instead uses the system libraries; perhaps it could > make sense to do the same on FreeBSD? > Yes. I should mention that it's not really normai to build OpenOffice using linux build instructions: we are used to the port: a Makefile based script that fetches, patches, build, installs, and even packages the code. Maho is likely to update it soon so he will add that flag. Thanks!! Pedro.
