IIRC did I read some place that it would take a bit more than a day... depending on how fast the system is :-o
Well its a P3-550 with 512MB RAM...if this really take that long I will eventually switch to Windows/Cygwin environment, an Athlon XP 3000+ should crack this down much faster IMO :)
Building OOo from source was taking me somewhere over 12 hours on a dual P3 SCSI system (FreeBSD). I _think_ compile times for 'reasonable' x86 CPUs (Athlon 2GHZ equivalent or Pentium 2GHZ or higher) single CPU was still on the order of 8-24 hours IIRC. NOT a 'small compile' ;-)
Which Os you're building under, as well as amount of RAM, and more or at least as importantly, what else is running on your system during the build, will obviously affect this...

Btw: http://tools.openoffice.org seems to be a vital resource for the building process.
very usefull :-D
Yeah it gave me a fairly good start what actually all the directories mean inside the openoffice folder, and there are really plenty of them...i would say to get a list of dependencies we should focus mainly on the dmake makefiles, from what I have read the complete source is used for ALL platforms and only the makefiles are adapted to the target systems. The configure run seems to write down the appropiate files in an output tree, which is then used for compiling.
More details on that when I can finally start the build. Now going to bed.
