Understood. > I'll welcome a patch that cleans it up if this really is the issue :-) - The only issue I see are the ones with macports. I once had a patch that used cp instead of gnu-cp but it looks like I deleted it once Christian did the clean-up in the main OOo sources. Arrgs. And currently I honestly don't know were to look at this in the code. > we definitely want to make the build easier, not harder. Once I'm familiar with git, currently it looks like git is winning, and have current LibO sources I think I will try to build OOo, acting like I just have to download the sources and do a configure, make, make install. I hope that this will be the case in the next few days, the earlier the better.
