Re: [Libreoffice] Windows dependancies
No I think what was wanted for us to have the files that are put in the installer also available for dowload from some LibreOffice site, not just from Microsoft. Yes, to auto-install, or as close to possible auto-install, all the dependencies needed to build LibreOffice on windows via the ./download step, and not manually run around downloading/installing them manually. Yep, anything that reduces the amount of required faffing around before you can type 'make' would be good. Something else which is a bit odd is that the autogen.sh/configure scripts expect you to have a system libxml2 and ant installed despite the fact that these are included in src: 7740a8ec23878a2f50120e1faa2730f2-libxml2-2.7.6.tar.gz apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz Seems peculiar - why is this? Is anyone familiar with any way to script Cygwin package installation? ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

3) If pkg-config is not installed, PKG_CHECK_MODULES is not defined and autogen.sh fails with the message: ./configure: line 3598: syntax error near unexpected token `MINIMUM_REQS,' ./configure: line 3598: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES( MINIMUM_REQS,' Rather than something more useful like 'Please install pkg-config' (I logged https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30989 for this) Please find a patch to fix 30989 attached, I'll attach it to that issue also. pkg-config-check.diff Description: Binary data ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
Re: [Libreoffice] Build problem on windows 7
Sorry, nope. For me that has always worked fine, Cygwin has never mistaken me to be superuser if I use my normally powered Windows account. What does your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files look like? My entry in /etc/passwd is: Martin:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513:U-ATOMISER\Martin,S-1-5-21-1229272821-343818398-682003330-1004:/home/Martin:/bin/bash and /etc/group looks like this: root:S-1-5-32-544:0: SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18: None:S-1-5-21-1229272821-343818398-682003330-513:513: Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544: Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546: Users:S-1-5-32-545:545: HelpServicesGroup:S-1-5-21-1229272821-343818398-682003330-1001:1001: Where would be an appropriate place to check the uid and fail with a useful hint? I think the inner configure.in (clone/bootstrap/configure.in) would be the best place. Or even build.pl (clone/bootstrap/solenv/bin/build.pl).

[Libreoffice] Windows dependancies
Hi there! Just working further on getting a working build up and running, there are a bunch of files needed to get a build running, namely, these? Looking for /cygdrive/c/lo/src/msvcr80.dll ... ok Looking for /cygdrive/c/lo/src/msvcp80.dll ... ok Looking for /cygdrive/c/lo/src/Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest ... ok Looking for /cygdrive/c/lo/src/msvcr71.dll ... ok Looking for /cygdrive/c/lo/src/gdiplus.dll ... ok With the exception of the .manifest file, these are all distributed with the OOo download - would it be possible to put a tarball or zip of these files up on libreoffice.org and have the build process download and unpack them as part of the build, or is there some redistribution licensing foo going on here?
