Nope. OOo/LibreOffice has its own stuff for all such things, since very long times. The configure script is a relatively late addition to OOo/LibreOffice. Anyway, I noticed that SIZEOF_LONG and WORDS_BIGENDIAN are checked in set_soenv.in to for some rare platforms (MIPS, PowerPC, S390x), so I will not remove them from configure.in. I will just bypass the failing tests on Windows, and hardcode the correct values (even if not needed as such on Windows). --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
