> Same thing, no? No. If you are (or Cygwin *thinks* you are) root (have uid=0), tar will chown files after extraction unless you specified --no-same-owner. If you aren't root, tar will chown if you specify --same-owner. So specifying --same-owner when you are root (which is what I think you meant) is pointless. > Okay, it seems that if I have no instances of rxvt running, and start one, > I get uid 0, and the build fails.

For me that has always worked fine, Cygwin has never mistaken me to be superuser if I use my normally powered Windows account. What does your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files look like? > Where would be an appropriate place to check the uid and fail with a > useful hint? I think the "inner" configure.in (clone/bootstrap/configure.in) would be the best place. Or even build.pl (clone/bootstrap/solenv/bin/build.pl). --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
