For dmake, we always need it, so --without-dmake would neve make sense. For the path vs. url cases, we would need to add code to parse the argument to decide whether we need need to do a download and build and point the path at the result of the build, or whether we can just use the argument as a full path. In addition to https, the URL could theoretically be ftp or a local file. This touches both configure and bootstrap. I haven't looked at the beanshell stuff enough to comment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
