(and yes, i'm also unhappy about the needlessly ugly and inefficient directory dependencies in gbuild to keep GNU make 3.81 support alive) _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
