Now I know what I did wrong, I did run configure again but not in a new shell (forgot the environment variables).
Good. Do you happen to know which environment variables were the problem in this case? It would be great to have a mechanism that avoided this source of confusion but cleaning up such environment variables. AFAIK most of them are supposed to be unset in the script written by the bootstrap step.
I think the real hazzle is to understand the process, once you get the initial build done and understand a bit about the build/makefiles it is pretty clean. I worked in another project, where the build required you to open 3 shells, and start different commands at different stages, that was challenging compared to this :-)
Wow, that tops the complexity of the AOO build experience quite a bit. For an open-source project I'm afraid we're still way too challenging, especially since the project was disrupted in the transition from the classic OOo build system to a gnumake based system.
