Hi Jason,

Hello
I have reached a relatively advanced stage of the building process and have
been saving some queries in order to put these into a single e-mail, with an
awareness that this is a busy mailing list, so hopefully not taking up too much
of people's time.
I am building OpenOffice from source code on a Windows 7 platform. All has
gone smoothly and I am now at the point where I am about to call 'configure'.
I am aware that the current building guide includes a call to configure which
in turn includes the following arguments:
--with-dmake-url="http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2";
\
--with-epm-url="http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz"; \
"--with-epm-url" is not necessary on Windows 7 and it should be removed
in the guide, or it was a wrong building guide you have used. Can you
please provide the link?
I had assumed that the building guide was up to date, but am aware that dmake
and epm now have more up to date versions and in the case of dmake, are now
hosted in a different repository to the URL listed above. Would my assumption
therefore be reasonable in assuming that the calls above would work with the
following URLs, which I believe are the most up to date:
The preconditions on Windows are in such way, that the MSVC Express 9.0
can be used. But I'm no expert for building.
When you come to ./bootstrap please read the answer from Kay with the
workaround for the problems I have reported in my recent mail "Bootstrap
download failures, mainly from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/oooextras.mirror/files";.
Kind regards
Regina
