hi rob weir, i wanted to check with W7 but i had problems as you say with tortoisesvn and i decided to check with openSuSE. Now, when i want to run in the terminal the following command: ant -Dopenoffice.home= "opt/openoffice4" compile
I get the following error: Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed I'd appreciate if you'd help me.
