Please note that many of the developers or OOo are working fulltime in the Central European Timezone. Therefore your question would only have been available for a few hours before they left work. Also I find it better to state the problem before you state what you've tried to do to solve it, or what symptoms you see. > My post from last hour wasn't to ask for help > compiling - at the moment I gave up, being frustrated > after sitting here for nearly ten hours without > anything done.

Many people have problems compiling OOo and most of this stems from the fact that they have not used the setup as explained in the development tools area. I'd advise you to have a look at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org and read the HOWTOs there on compiling. Obviously if you find problems and/or omissions then please add comments. -- CPH : openoffice.org contributor Maybe your question has been answered already? http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
