It's just personal, I don't like Gnome, I run KDE, and I want my libreoffice build to match my personal prejudices. I'm following the instructions on the libreoffice website! - http://www.documentfoundation.org/develop/ It's THOSE instructions that have blown up for me. And of course, they don't mention gentoo in the trouble-shooting guide :-) But, as someone who wants KDE, of course I'm going to be miffed when the build blows up with "can't find qt". And when the response is "oh, just disable it" I react! Anyways, surely either (a) it's a bug if the libreoffice build system can't detect a qt install, or (b) it's a bug if libreoffice wants qt available but doesn't use it. Either way, the problem IS somewhere in the libreoffice code base or autogen. And if I knew what I was looking for I'd happily try and fix it :-) Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
