Sure. Moving to gmake is worth it, tho There are really two things here: - gcp could'nt be used with the previous build system if it was in a different place than /bin/cp . Even if you specified the full path, some files still tried to run /bin/cp with gcp-like arguments. - it is not possible to run a build with a non-gnu cp anymore (I tried once), removing the check in configure.in is not sufficient. With the new build system, gcp has become usable and we're trading a regression for a fix; there are more important issues with the new build system such as undefined variables in some Makefiles and I'd like to fix these first. -- Francois Tigeot _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
