I have "promoted" the title and am replying just to the sake of being easier to find this thread in search engines by others seeking for help.
Also, I am cross-sending to blfs-support for the same motive. Below, I try to make a summary of the main points. --- Em sex, 23/11/12, Ken Moffat escreveu: > De: Ken Moffat > Assunto: Re: [lfs-support] A startup quesion > Para: "LFS Support List" > Data: Sexta-feira, 23 de Novembro de 2012, 22:54 > On Thu, Nov 22, 2012 at 03:26:31AM > -0800, Fernando de Oliveira wrote: > > --- Em qua, 21/11/12, Tobias Gasser escreveu: > > > > > it's a pitty lo is not able to check the > installed > > > libraries. either you > > > use --with-system-xx (or as for librsvg > --enable-xx=system) > > > or lo will > > > build it's own package again! even better to check > for > > > installed > > > libraries first to avoid even the download - last > time i > > > counted, i > > > could save 30 out of 100 (as far as i remember > nearly 200 > > > out of 500g). > > > > That is true! > > > > Thanks again, Tobias. > > > And thanks from me to both of you.

ISTR to have tested opening created opendocs type files from either LO to gnumeric or vice-versa, but some format, graphics or functions did not display/work properly. The main points of this discussion, describe in previous posts with the old title were probably (these I remember while I am writing): 1. Many switches will decrease both build size and time. A very complete set of switches was used by Tobias. 2. Also using the strip "snippet for stripping" from Tobias, install size can be reduced by almost 1/4. One doubt, though. In my case, would it be worth building the other packages separately just for LO use, or better to let it build them (worth in user/machine size and/or time spent)?
