That one's still open. No suggestions? Or just ignore for now?

The problem here was that NetBSD patch reports version to stderr. I've
fixed that on both sides: LO now looks at stderr as well, and
NetBSD-6.0's patch will report version to stdout.

New open issues:
8) /archive/cvs/libreoffice/build/bin/transform: /archive/cvs/libreoffice/build/bin/font-munge: not found 
The problem here is that the this script wants to run /usr/bin/perl,
but with arguments:
#!/usr/bin/perl -pi.bak -w
Replacing it with /usr/bin/env doesn't work since then we can't
provide further command line arguments in that case.
The Makefile in that directory already contains a perfectly usable
${PERL} variable; then we'd need to

git mv font-munge font-munge.in

and add a rule

font-munge: font-munge.in
	sed "s,/usr/bin/perl,${PERL},g" font-munge.in > font-munge
	chmod 555 font-munge

to the Makefile. That would work, except I don't know on which target
to hang the dependency so that font-munge is created early enough.
Suggestions?

And I'm stuck at the next point:
9) I run "./autogen.sh --with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux --with-git
--with-max-jobs=16 --with-num-cpus=8" and then gmake (GNU make) and
configure dies with:

The problem here are the configure arguments. According to config log:

head -20 build/libreoffice-3.2.99.1/config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --disable-binfilter --disable-crashdump --with-lang= --with-use-shell=bash --without-gpc --without-agg --disable-fetch-external --with-vba-package-format=builtin --disable-epm --with-openldap --with-build-version=libreoffice-build 3.2.99.1 --without-fonts --with-system-jpeg --with-system-libxml --with-system-mozilla --with-system-openssl --with-system-python --with-system-stdlibs --with-system-zlib --with-system-poppler --with-unix-wrapper=ooffice3.3 --enable-evolution2 --enable-dbus --with-alloc=system --enable-cairo=yes --enable-gtk --enable-kde --enable-kde4 --with-vendor=The Document Foundation --disable-dbus --disable-kde4 --disable-access --enable-cairo --without-system-cairo --enable-gstreamer --enable-odk --enable-binfilter --enable-gnome-vfs --enable-hids --enable-lockdown --enable-opengl --enable-ogltrans --with-java-target-version=1.5 --with-jdk-home= --without-myspell-dicts --enable-epm --enable-kde --without-system-mozilla --without-system-freetype --without-system-jpeg --without-system-libxml --without-system-libxslt --without-system-python --without-system-zlib --without-system-jars --without-system-stdlibs --disable-crypt-link --disable-pam-link --disable-xrender-link --disable-randr-link --without-openldap --without-system-xrender-headers --without-system-mesa-headers --without-unix-wrapper --with-fonts --enable-minimizer --enable-presenter-console --enable-pdfimport --without-system-poppler --enable-wiki-publisher --enable-report-builder --with-extension-integration --with-linker-hash-style=both --with-ant-home=/archive/cvs/libreoffice/build/build/apache-ant-1.8.1 --with-system-dicts --with-external-dict-dir=/usr/share/hunspell --with-external-hyph-dir=/usr/share/hyphen --with-external-thes-dir=/usr/share/mythes --with-dict=ALL --without-system-openssl --with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux --with-git --with-max-jobs=16 --with-num-cpus=8

If you look closely, you see:
... --with-build-version=libreoffice-build 3.2.99.1 ...
instead of
... --with-build-version="libreoffice-build 3.2.99.1" ...

i.e. the quotes are missing, and I don't know why. Ideas?

Thanks,
 Thomas
