I knew there was one more thing I wanted to mention. The make we have in dev-tools actually doesn't build with WINDOWS32 #define (both as in that the #define doesn't get set by configure and that if it's explicitly set the code doesn't compile successfully). So there's apparenly some Win32-specific code there, but it doesn't get built. And sources for the cygwin make package have more Win32-specific code. I have no idea what difference that'd make, I think there's Win32-specific code instead of fork(), I don't know if there's any Win32-specific stat() replacement or whether that'd make a noticeable difference. So if somebody would feel like playing with it. -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
