We do this not only for Linux but macOS as well... It's just that with the mac, it is easier to build for older systems even when building *on* a newer one. Not so w/ Linux, esp when dependencies are based on kernel versions. I also agree that we should try Damjan's patch but, afaict, no one has seen it :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
