Hello,
I started collecting all the tools & libs already available to this wiki page:

Kind regards
This is a good start (BTW, Davey, good job on the site/wiki!), but as this stands, it's difficult to tell:
- Is this a clear cut dependency of OOo? Or just a possible useful
tool? (Important IMHO)
- Has it been tested to work? If so, on which platforms? A1/OS4, 68k
only/3.X? Again, important, as some further work on some of the items listed may be needed.
I actually think the mentioned page should be part of a larger 'OO Build Environment' page, which once finished, should document:
- OOo dependencies for the AOS4 build environment (specific setup)
- OOo dependencies for any other platforms supported
(cross-compilation, OS3.9 if that's actually supported, etc) 3. SCM and defect tracking configuration 4. OOo source tree overview/conventions (can link to other docs) 5. Amiga OO specific changes or additional directories for base build environment (in other words, what is either being ported, as not everything should need to be, and what's being added)
There's a bit more, but you get the point...if each of the tools had a uniform status and OSes for each, as they were tested and verified to either need more work or be good to use/completed, whomever was responsible could add the notation into the wiki page stating so..
Thanks,
Scott
To add slightly to this (yeah, I hit send too soon!), I'd be happy to go through each listed resource and update it's status, assuming my uA1 shows up next week like I'm told it's supposed to.
One additional comment is that content like this: http://amigaopenoffice.org/index.php?option=com_wikidoc&task=viewcontent...
while useful in it's own right, should be clearly marked as either a legacy doc (for example, glibc is not going to be used for AOS OOo port AFAIK....umm, and it isn't 'command line parsing', although it's possible they use GNU getopt functionality _from_ glibc..), it shoudl clearly state these are the _LINUX_ dependencies rather than AOS', or be marked as: 'Linux': <dependency AOS: <replacement, equivalent, or porting status>
Thanks,
Scott
