Hi,
our build tool dmake is licensed under GPL. Thus, it can not be
part of our source releases. But, we can use it for building - as
we are using the gcc compiler.
Thus, I will move the dmake source folder from .../ooo/trunk/main/
to new folder .../ooo/buildtools/ in order to assure that
everything under .../ooo/trunk/ can become part of our source
release.
In order to get our bootstrap process still working it needs some
adaption: I am planning to introduce a configure option in order to
provide manually the path to the source folder of the build tool
dmake - something like with-dmake=<$PATH to dmake folder>. If this
option is not used, the default path ../../buildtools/dmake/ -
relative from folder main - will be taken. The configure will then
check, if this folder exists - the manual given one or the default.
The bootstrap process will then work with this path to create the
build tool dmake.
Any objections?
In order to graduate there can be no license incompatible code in
SVN. The solution below is ok only as an interim solution.

I did not know this rule until now.
Thus, I think I will search for another solution in which the sources of
our build tool dmake are not in our repository.
As Pedro already mentioned that he has something on Apache-Extras I will
see, if I can make it work in our build environment.
Best regards, Oliver.
