Hi,

I'm trying to build OOo on Windows using the instructions from the
Building Guide in the wiki
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide).

Everything works fine so far, but I noticed that the installation sets
that my build produces are missing the redist-directory that should
contain the MS Visual C++ redistributable package (vcredist_x86.exe).
Consequently when I install my build on a system that doesn't already
have msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll installed OOo won't work. Just
creating the redist-directory inside the installation set and copying
the vcredist_x86.exe file into it doesn't work. My installer doesn't
trigger the installation of the Visual C++ redistributables.

So, my question is how do I build an installation set which contains
the redist-directory with the vcredist_x86.exe file, so that the OOo
installation will install the necessary libraries?

While searching for an answer I found out that there's an environment
variable WITH_VC_REDIST which you can set to TRUE and then the build
seems to create the redist directory and tries to copy the
vcredist_x86.exe from somewhere but I don't know where the build
process expects the necessary files. Can anyone help me out?


Regards,
Daniel
