I in doubt, that some people at Sun unstand the hole buildsystem for OpenOffice. >Complicated Problems have not yet shown, the problem is to locate the >problems. :) There aren't BIG problems, but a lot of few ones. The most a related to the bisonproblem, that bison 1.33 is to new for the OpenOffice build. :( >I'm currentlly on the long-term approach to get the OO.o source build >using automake and in reasonable pieces.

I would say, the most of them are build in the bootstrap-prozess. So it should be possible to get rid off the bootprozess and build OpenOffice directly. Regards Jan >Hochachtungsvoll, > Bernhard R.
