        Your questions seem sensible, and welcome to open-source (or Free
Software ;-).

        Ah - then - perhaps this can be your 1st contribution :-) We used to
use bin/g with the 'build' build method, but now we have the 'bootstrap'
build method, it should be replaced thus:

        bin/g -> g

        ie. it is in the top-level directory now.

        Nasty ! I've seen that myself in the past; and chased it into the long
grass for a while; but I forget what fixed it. Apparently it compiles ok
for me now.

        More details wrt. your distribution, and so on would probably be most
helpful. How did you install the pre-requisite packages ?

        Anyhow - worth a try deleting the output and re-buiding it (cf. the rm
command at the end of the build failure message) , but I'm not that
optimistic; can you get on IRC so we can dig into it more ? #libreoffice
on irc.freenode.net ?

        Thanks,

                Michael.
