I'm trying to configure/build OpenOffice on a Windows 7 box with VS 2013 installed.
I did a git clone of https://github.com/apache/openoffice using Git Bash (which is just git wrapped in a MINGW32 environment). Using cygwin I ran autoconf and then attempted to run configure as follows: ./configure --with-dmake-url=http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2 --with-epm-url=http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz --with-frame-home="/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A" --with-psdk-home="/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A" --with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/Bin" --disable-directx --disable-activex --disable-atl I get the following output/error: checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E checking for gawk... gawk checking for gawk... /usr/bin/gawk checking for sed... /usr/bin/sed checking for solenv environment... default checking for custom pack.lst... no configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub I have sh installed: $ which sh /usr/bin/sh ... and it appears to also be in /bin: /bin $ ls -l sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 Bill None 700435 Jun 3 08:09 sh I noticed in the guide for Windows (https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Windows) it says: Make sure that you keep the filetype set to “Unix/binary”. How do I do that? Where is that setting? Any other thoughts on what's going wrong here? Thanks...
