Yeah, but the code uses non-standard library functions, apparently. See external/glibc/makefile.mk. Apparently what's needed is getopt() and readdir_r(). > In the same line of questioning, but not a license > issue, why do we need STLport? (In LibreOffice we don't use STLport any more on any platform.) Your code presumably still relies on some STLport stuff on Windows. Anyway, even if AOOo itself wouldn't use STLport itself, if you want to be binary compatible with binary extensions, those might rely on the OOo installation containing a STLport shared library so you need to build and ship it. --tml
