Hi. due to the discussion in thread "Mentor a new build system", I have made a proposal for a central Makefile located in main.
It has been roughly tested it, thanks to a clever utility from andre. As discussed build.pl contains a lot of options, which need to be considered in a makefile. My suggestion is on http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_System_Analysis:build.pl_versus_makefile Please feel free to edit/comment on the page. I have reduced to options a lot, and some of them might be in use. thanks in advance for your comments.
