Hi, I ended up wasting a lot of time in installing packages one by one as the configure script failed repeatedly complaining about missing packages. It failed > 20 time and often it was difficult to locate the exact package to be installed for a complaint. Won't it be great if a list of names of pre-requisite packages for each platform is uploaded at wiki? Or is there a smarter way which I couldn't figure out as a newcomer?

The students should be able to bootstrap in an hour or two [including downloading ;-)] without heavy googling now. <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ooo-build/" target="_blank">http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ooo-build/</a> Please go through that, and update the pages if you see anything missing/incorrect/outdated. Please note that the Wiki page login is not related to your fd.o account you use for git ;-) Thank you, Kendy _______________________________________________ ooo-build mailing list <a href="mailto:ooo-build@lists.freedesktop.org">ooo-build@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/ooo-build" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/ooo-build</a> </blockquote></div>
