I know, I already read it, before trying to build. > In fact, we don't know it's actual build status on other platforms or > with different build configurations. Well, at least it's rather broken on Fedora 17, that as usual has the latest standard libraries and compiler (RedHat is the main contributor in several of these projects). > You can try on these supported > platforms and configurations, so we can provide some kinds of support. No thanks, it is completely pointless: you already know it *does* work. The point here is that Apache Office code base is already buildable in a wide set of Linux distributions, from old CentOS 5 to latest Fedora. People pushing forward the idea of taking Symphony contribution as the new code base (and people trying to make up their mind about the subject) should take this into account (and this is the lightest objection I have against such an idea - but these objections belong to other thread).
