Patricia, I am in constant despair of what it takes to use Windows to build a Windows install of AOO, if only to confirm the build that was used in a release.
If you have succeeded, can you share your build parameters and anything you learned about the instructions with regard to dependencies that must be satisfied for the build to work? Since the Windows buildbot is not even running any longer, it is apparently necessary to endure this gauntlet to even be able to test anything. My beginners-mind is failing me on this one. - Dennis (aka orc...@apache.org) > -----Original Message----- > From: Patricia Shanahan [mailto:p...@acm.org] > Sent: Monday, November 2, 2015 03:11 > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: Thinking of joining OpenOffice as a developer > > On 11/2/2015 2:33 AM, Damjan Jovanovic wrote: > > On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 12:57 AM, Patricia Shanahan <p...@acm.org> > wrote: > ... > >> "Install cygwin, 32bit version" > >> > >> Do I really have to go to 32-bit Cygwin?
