Ho hum - that is unfortunate; it is possible that you're missing some
symlinks links - what does your 'ls -l' look like in libo/ (which I
assume is just a rename of 'bootstrap').

:-) persist; when we get it fixed for you - hopefully we'll fix it for
others too.

Well - our build system is (unfortunately) a little like that; we are
working to try to improve it in several ways.

Of course.

This basically means it is missing a module 'l10ntools' that should be:
$ ls -l l10ntools
lrwxrwxrwx 2 michael users 56 Mar 24 11:00 l10ntools ->
.../bootstrap/clone/libs-gui/l10ntools
So - I suspect (somehow) your libs-gui checkout failed. If you re-run
'make' or ./download it may fix that; removing clone/libs-gui and trying
again (perhaps you have a corrupt git repo there) might help - but at
least it looks like you're a lot closer to a build.
Thanks for persisting ! :-) I guess, if we can show that git is
producing corrupt repositories when it is aborted during download - it
might be good to patch download to detect that, and remove broken
directories (out of interest how did you kill the download -ctrl-c-
interactively, or something harder ? )
All the best,
Michael.
