Which isn't available on Windows, either... AFAIK, they use the command line parsing from glibc, i.e. getopt_long...
* gcc: OpenOffice.org has been successfully build under Linuxusing the gcc versions 3.0.x, 3.1.1, 3.2.x, and 3.3.x. Older versions were built with gcc 2.95.2, 2.95 support is not maintained for current branches however. Version 2.96 does not work!
Which version do we have?=
We have the most current one, i.e. 3.4.3
We'll be replacing dependencied on X with intuition/graphics.library, afaik.
We'll definitely not using X.
* PAM (should come with most Linux distributions). You mustinstall the development package for your distribution.
Uhm, this is an interesting dependency.
What sort of dependency is this, anyway ? Are you listing the Linux dependencies, or what ? In this case, this might not be necessary for us.
* JDK 1.3.1 or JDK 1.4.1 (note you need the SDK, not just the JRE). JDK 1.4.2 is not supported for versions prior to OpenOffice.org1.1.1, see issue 16626.
Obviously we need some work here, or?
AFAIK, it's not needed if you use some python replacement...
* Perl 5Can also be done, no?
If it needs to be done, yes...
* csh Note that you can start a build in bash however all thescripts in the build system are actually csh scripts.
OO.ops :-) I asked about this the other day. What do we do for build scripts. Anyone? Write a minimal c-shell?
Some of us started this (http://sourceforge.net/projects/abc-shell/) some time ago... It's still some way from being finished, but it somwhat works already...
* zip and unzipCheck
If everything else would be so simple :/
* GTK - If you enable the crash reporter in configure then youneed the gtk 2, jpeg and tiff development libraries.
Ok, so fuck the crash reporter :-P
Exactly. We don't have no stinking crashes ;)
- Ant Is required to build some features. This is a Java Make utility.
That's of course a problem... without Java, that is..
Damn, they adopted their own build system (dmake), so why not frigging stick to it ?
