Err, I dont't think so (I have not checked) but the sources are made to be used with MS VC++ (the windows version) and also for Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X. They have weird prerequisits for the compilation, they use: * 4NT Version 2.5 or higher. * JDK 1.3.1. * Perl 5 for Win32. * Cygnus Toolkit. The latest Cygnus Toolkit is available from http://www.cygwin.com. However: OpenOffice.org was successfully built using the (old) b20 version of cygwin, but we encountered problems with the newest version run under the 4NT shell. Cygwin-b20 resides under various mirror sites, for instance at .. * GNU Bison 1.28: cygwin-b20 only contains Bison 1.25. See: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build_windows.html I thought I should try a build using only cygwin and native cygwin programms (and MS VC++).
