I have a free disk partition so I'll try installing Mac OS 10.6 & xCode and see what happens this week-end. I can then generate a better dependance list. I've played with building other big programs (GCC, wget, & LLVM) on my current partition so I'm not really base. I should also generate a document showing how to set everything up. (my current work on the wiki suggests MacPorts; which I think is a little broken). Most of my MacPorts issues are caused by my box being 64bit and it's issues with installing anything except 64bit versions. LO is hard-coded somewhere to only build in 32bit mode; which means that I need ether a 32bit version of the libraries or a fat version (I don't want 32bit only; because, I may want to do other work and thus, I may need the 64bit version). > HTH, > > Michael. > > -- > michael.me...@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot > > Joe P. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
