Do Windows developers really use Windows' built-in utilities for unzipping? I really think that the minimal stack for building OpenOffice on Windows includes some .tar.bz2-capable programs. We do download and expand .tar.bz2 files as part of the build process, so it seems obvious that this is not an issue for Windows developers, meaning that this is covered by standard tooling.

It depends what you mean by standard tooling: tooling as needed currently for AOO building or normal tooling.
AOO build on Windows currently requires the use of Cygwin which has a full range of archive utilities. The downside is that it limits your choice of developers to people who are comfortable in a UNIX-like shell environment.
My ideal tool chain would be: Open and extract-all on a zip file OR do an SVN checkout. Open an appropriate IDE and load the project description file. Build. Run. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
