Peter asked about the error message which I don't recall verbatim, but can paraphrase to 'what?'..and this would explain it *smile*. > > Oddly I thought I'd updated the developers page to switch that to plain > 'libreoffice' for more recent openSUSE's but ... it seems that didn't > make it there. Well it was changed, I see now, on the wiki page[1] but not on the TDF website page [2]..problem was a google search for 'build libreoffie' took me to the TDF page first. I suppose the same type of issue with the wiki page that sent me back to OpenOffice.org web resources looking for TestTool...so I suppose I can help with this by asking questions and where possible updating pages to reflect the answers where appropriate. > > <snip> Perhaps we can provide a pre-canned > Linux VM for people to build from, although (at least for Linux) build > problems don't seem like such a huge issue these days. Right - well, my thought was with regards to a supporting QA tasks. In looking at the information I could find regarding subsequenttests it appeared that a full build environment was needed, but even short of that one would want to be able to generate symbol tables and heck maybe even try to code simple patches...you never know. //drew [1] http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Old_How_to_build [2] http://www.documentfoundation.org/develop/ _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
