There is a thing called binary type library that is needed and used during run time, please take a look at the udk.openoffice.org website for a description. The final part of merging is (iirc) done in the drafts module. * Additionaly, header files corresponding to the idl files are generated from the merged database (applicat.rdb) in the offuh module. This is a lot of header files corresponding to various interfaces provided by various components implemented by various parts of the codebase. This is a part of the codebase that does not play all the nicely with the overly naive assumptions made by the gnu packaging/build tools. > -- > GNU GPL: csak tiszta forrásból > Sander I haven't been vampired.
