I, I've done a sucessful build using this steps: <a href="http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Foral/Build_Win">http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Foral/Build_Win</a> Also had to apply this patch: <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=6cfe3c93dc55264e57f1057a2911d54232353d13">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=6cfe3c93dc55264e57f1057a2911d54232353d13</a> Hope it helps.

I tried about a year ago but gave up because I couldn't figure it out. In the meantime, I set up a VirtualBox Kubuntu install and was able to build LibreOffice there. No big deal, but it's the first time I've ever really make'd something on Linux with LibreOffice's level of complexity. Anyways, I'm back to trying to build on Windows because I realized that the thing I'm interested in trying to 'fix' works just fine on Linux, and the difficulty is Windows-specific, so I really need a Windows build to test if what I'm doing works or not. OK, so I've been trying to build LibreOffice on Windows from master following the directions in the wiki, but I'm having a lot of trouble. I've tried being as careful as I can getting it all configured right, but maybe I missed something. So here are 4 sort of related questions... #1 My current problem is that I run make and it runs for a while and then dies in tail_build with an error like this: D:/Dev/libo/libo/workdir/<a href="http://wntmsci12.pro/Dep/LinkTarget/Library/iacc.lib.d:948" target="_blank">wntmsci12.pro/Dep/LinkTarget/Library/iacc.lib.d:948</a>: *** multiple target patterns. Stop. I saw this pop up a few times too when I was trying to make various modules independently.. They would die with: ....../LinkTarget/[Static]Library/foobar.lib.d:123: *** multiple target patterns. Stop. Does anyone recognize what this could be caused by? #2 Another question: I'm looking at Tinderbox, and if I'm trying to tell when a good time to build is, which Windows column should I be looking at? Also, is there any way to find out what build options (e.g. in autogen.lastrun) those builds are using, so I could try to copy them? #3 In my failed build on Windows, can anyone tell me if I should be concerned about these types of messages which I'm receiving quite a few of LinkTarget Library/glib-2.0.lib not defined: Assuming headers to be there! D:/Dev/libo/libo/solenv/inc/shlinfo.rc(55) : warning RC4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'PPSX' C:/PROGRA~2/MICROS~1.0/VC/include\stdlib.h(772) : warning C4068: unknown pragma Command line warning D9025 : overriding '/DNOMINMAX' with '/UNOMINMAX' or this line: error CS1548: Cryptographic failure while signing assembly 'd:\Dev\libo\libo\workdir\<a href="http://wntmsci12.pro" target="_blank">wntmsci12.pro</a>\CliLibraryTarget\cli_basetypes.dll' -- 'Error reading key file 'D:\\Dev\\libo\\libo\\solver\\<a href="http://wntmsci12.pro" target="_blank">wntmsci12.pro</a>\\bin\\cliuno.snk' -- The system cannot find the file specified. ' #4 Finally, in tandem, I'm looking into the idea of cross compiling a Windows binary from Kubuntu (or whatever) based on the information here: <a href="http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Ploum" target="_blank">http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Ploum</a> Is this a valid route for hacking on and testing a Windows build? Can I build and then copy files over to a Windows machine and run LibreOffice there? Thanks for any pointers anyone could provide.
