Yes, oowintool looks for the only supported versions of Visual Studio. Newer versions are not compatible with our build system. There is a conflict of environment variables. FWIW, Windows 10 remains capable of running all the necessary software to build OpenOffice. I hope this helps. -- Arrigo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Windows Visual Studio version for building on Windows 10
Hello, The oowintool Perl script inside of /openoffice/main is looking for early Visual Studio versions not present on my machine. I have Visual Studio 10, 12, and 14. For those of you building on Windows without the earlier Visual Studio versions, what did you do for this step? What is the reason the script doesn't look for newer versions? Thank you, Kelly
