I think Tor thinks it's said because building OOo on Windows sucks a lot. I can confirm that. Though it is better than some people think. > Speaking of Windows, is MS VC++ 2010 Express sufficient for a build? As already mentioned in this thread, you should use MSVC++ 2008. I just had to reinstall it and I could find a downloadable ISO. I also had to reinstall cygwin. I had some problems with installing the additional perl modules (some didn't compile). As I don't know if these modules are *really* necessary, I wait until the build is finished before I will tell more details about that. Regards, Mathias
