FWIW, to not sabotage that goal it would be wise to try to restrict dependencies of the build system to(*): http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm and plain C (like our concat-deps.c) -- at least for stuff that is used on Windows. Thus maybe consider those options instead, when you want to add some Perl or Python stuff that is used in the core build system(**). Best, Bjoern (*) possibly: using only http://www.busybox.net/ instead of coreutils, gawk, sed. (**) OTOH, we are bringing our own copy of Python on Windows anyway, but using it in the build is somewhat problematic both because its hardly a lightweight dependency for bootstrapping and probably a also a bottleneck increasing buildtime. So: meh. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
