See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-April/010054.html Since you use a recent mainstream distribution, you can take advantage of the packaging facilities to select and install all necessary development dependencies. This single command, sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice will install the necessary dependencies (including the fontconfig development package) in one go. Indeed, the wiki page at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build should get a reference to the additional information that can be found at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/ Simos _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
