This is interesting. On Windows 8, when I issue the command > dir /x in
command prompt to retrieve Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0's unique name, it
shows nothing. Why this could happened? How you guys workaround on this
issue?

I have not made the transition from Windows7 to Windows 8, so I can not comment. Internally we use the cygpath command to convert from long to 8.3 file names. If OpenOffice still builds on Windows 8 then this technique still works and Windows 8 can still interpret 8.3 file names.

I copied my Visual Studio Express 2008 into a short dir tree with no
spaces
in the dir names to work around this issue. I took the Common7 and VC
subdirs from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 into
another dir, and all worked smoothly.

The long filenames have only to be understood by configure.  They are then
converted to 8.3 syntax, unreadable but without spaces.
Look into the winenv.set.sh and you won't see that many spaces in
directories.

  Dear all,
Has anyone successfully build OpenOffice using VS2012 Express? I'm
currently experiencing some error while following command is issue:

./configure --with-dmake-url=
https://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-
4.12.2.tar.bz2--with-cl-home=/cygdrive/c/"Program
Files (x86)"/"Microsoft Visual Studio
11.0"/VC

  Maybe this is a problem with the path syntax and quoting.  Can you try
a
different quoting for the --with-cl-home option?  I use something like

      ---with-cl-home="/cygdrive/c/Progrram Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual
Studio..."

  And I have this error:
