	But - of course, I use the mechanism that is recommended on the
web-site, and that is tested by most of our beginners, and is known to
work well ;-) [ ie. build/libreoffice-* ] - and yes it is deadly
annoying.

	The screwed up situation of having these two places to build, two
different conflicting makefiles with different rules etc. needs to be
cleared up ASAP - post the branch / freeze over the weekend, this needs
to be one of the first things we fix I think.

	Hopefully the situation will not persist indefinitaely, since it works
for me without problems, I'd personally recommend the web-site page
approach :-) manifestly it has only four simple steps: autogen,
download, make, bin/ooinstall ...

	HTH,

		Michael.
