HI Mathias,
Thanks for the information. Perhaps, I should tell you why I want to build OOo, 
and, then, maybe you could suggest what course I should take. 
I am trying to get PyUno working so that I can read and interface with .doc and 
.docx files (e.g. highlight certain words in documents, such as proper names) 
while they are being viewed by users in MsWord. The problem is that PyUno links 
against Python2.3 and, therefore, I cannot run it on Mac OS X 10.7.1: 10.7.1 
does not have Python2.3 in its complete form, and, at any rate, I wouldn't want 
to use that Python version because it would prevent imports of other modules 
requiring later Python versions. PyUno, then, must be made to link against 
either Python 2.6.7 or Python 2.7, the Python versions I have on my system. 
But, how to do this?
I read here, at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac@porting.openoffice.org/msg03582.html, that: 
Those who build OOo by themselves will be able to just use
--with[out]-system-python, but only very, very few Mac users will
build their own copy of OOo. Thus it is important to decide on the
default, what the installsets offered from www.openoffice.org will
include (or not include)At this stage, I have downloaded the entire repository 
for OOo. Is there a way to selectively build just the PyUno Module? Also, do 
you have any suggestions as to where I can begin? I am a newbie and am becoming 
somewhat overwhelmed at what has become quite a daunting task.
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide.
Sincerely,
Seth
