No. You may use it if you want. I was just suggesting make dev-install
for a development environment.

When you cloned the bootstrap repository you get ./g. May be you did
something in a wrong way. Cloning bootstrap is the very first step.

You will get a "bootstrap" directory. I did this under $HOME:

mkdir src
cd src
mkdir libreoffice
cd libreoffice
git clone ... blah blah blah/bootstrap
cd bootstrap

You end up with $HOME/src/libreoffice/bootstrap/ under which is ./g

Same as above. If you don't have ./g you did something wrong.
