On LibreOffice it's a matter of defining $DMAKE in the
configure environment.
For my own builds I don't need to do anything, I have
dmake installed in my path and the system just catches
it.
It will be the default to search for such a pre-installed dmake first.
No option has to be specified for this. After all, whoever installed it
has (hopefully) done that knowing about the GPL license.
The --with-dmake-path is only necessary when dmake is installed in a
place that is not in $PATH.
I also made available some (untested) Windows binaries
in the Apache-Extras site, JIC they are useful.
Yes, I have seen that. I just don't know if there are any policies
against downloading binaries during configure/setup/build. But the use
of pre-built binaries is definitely an option.
By the way, the other archives that are downloaded during
configure/setup have MD5 checksums. Can you add one to the dmake
archive as well?
Thanks,
Andre
cheers,
Pedro.
