RE: [dev] Completely lost in the building process...
Hello, First of all, thanks a bunch for the quick and kind response. But I'd like to get some precisions if possible. Jens-Heiner Rechtien wrote: No. But plan for a lot of disk space for the source tree. The generated binaries take up a lot of space. How much space?? Just to make sure I don't end up having to start again from scratch because of a space issue (and I do have a space issue, having set up a VMWare image :P). Thanks :). I finally got time to read the extra informations found at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Windows and have been able to progress with the 'configure' script. But, it now wields an error I can not seem to get rid of: 'configure: error: mscoree.lib (.NET Framework) not found. Make sure to use you use --with-frame-home' But the 'mscoree.lib' file is in 3 different locations (which are also in my 'Path' environment variables: 1. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib 2. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib\IA64 3. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Lib Thus, I am puzzled. I tried a couple of things, mainly fiddling around with the Environment variables path. But to no avail. Note that I do have a valid .Net Framework 1.1 installation.

Hi, Work Klo wrote: - mscoree.lib - If you find it in 3 different locations, just pick one. - If you still are unsure, pick the one from the Visual Studio as the Platform SDK should be older (if you are using the Feb 2003 version...) Not sure what you mean by 'just pick one'?? Also, I just realised my VMWare has 2 .NET framework installed (Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (+ hotfix KB886903) and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0); could that be an issue?

Alexandre, Hello Canadian! - Space: I would say about 6 GB. - I have built OO2 in Windows using cygwin (according to http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html). - I then tar the whole directory and gzip it. I get about 3GB. - So my guess is you may need 6GB. - mscoree.lib - If you find it in 3 different locations, just pick one. It is that easy! - If you still are unsure, pick the one from the Visual Studio as the Platform SDK should be older (if you are using the Feb 2003 version...)
