Finally I managed to isolate the problem. It is a problem with case. The Microsoft Visual C++ express defines the LIB environment variable (vcvars32.bat). The Cygwin system translates it to lowercase lib. Openoffice build system defines uppercase LIB, and leaves lib untouched. When the Microsoft compiler and linker is run, and both the uppercase LIB and lowercase exist, the conversion Unix environment -> Windows environment passes lowercase lib.
Setting under cygwin LIB=${lib} and, most important, unsetting lib fixed the problem. But I am afraid this problem may happen to any user. What should we do? Perhaps the lib (lowercase) should be undefined in the variables script winenv.set.sh. -----Mensaje original----- De: Mathias Bauer [mailto:nospamfor...@gmx.de] Enviado el: martes, 29 de junio de 2010 16:44 Para: dev@openoffice.org Asunto: Re: [dev] Issues building under windows xp: patch Hi, there is nothing we need to do for the LIB variable as it is used already. The LIB variable is set in the environment of the linker when it is called. So whatever goes wrong in your build, it must have another reason. Currently I'm working on Linux, maybe later I will have some time to check what's going on. To exclude possible errors: does your build work if you build the libxml2 module, call deliver for it and then build libxslt?
