Heh, so I may be the first person in the world who have done that ? :-) > The conversion from unix-style /cygdrive/c/paths to /c/paths when > handing the paths to native tools does a simple search and replace.

Anyway with this patch I was able to build in /home, install and also write some text in Draw. Hopefully it will work also for others (for all ?). Could someone, please, try ? I think we could remove new warning from http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Windows_Build_Dependencies Best, Matus _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
