Thanks for the detailed info and update if this important work. As a Mac user Zi am looking forward to upgrade my work env to XCode4... Anyway great work and I will support you next week with the configure stuff. I am sure some projects will be very interested to use your work and hopefully they will credit it appropriately ;-) Juergen > > Have fun! > Herbert > > On 2013/05/08 5:39 PM, h...@apache.org wrote: > > Author: hdu > > Date: Wed May 8 15:39:18 2013 > > New Revision: 1480326 > > > > URL: http://svn.apache.org/r1480326 > > Log: > > Create branch rejuvenate01 for a platform refresh > > > > - support for XCode4 and its SDKs > > - support for the Clang compiler > > - support for 64bit Mac AOO > > - support for a TR1 compatible STL > > - prepare to drop stlport for the platform's native STLs > > - replace functionality deprecated in XCode4's SDKs (OSX>=10.7) > > - support for building with C++11 mode enabled > > - support for 64bit-only OSX JREs > > > > Added: > > openoffice/branches/rejuvenate01/ (props changed) > > - copied from r1480321, openoffice/trunk/ > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
