Ah - good point :-) I'll update the build script to print a more useful
message in a bit, but first:

Yes - you need to:
cd build/libreoffice*
source Linux*Set.sh
cd <directory-that-failed>
build # it is a shell alias

'build' is a perl-script, that parses prj/build.lst to work out what
can be built, and how much parallelism the code can cope with.

yes, and yes - dmake gets all it needs from sourcing that (huge)
environment script; so just run it:
dmake
There are some useful flags to dmake and build - the most important
are:
verbose=1 # let me see the compile lines
debug=true # enable assertions and debugging symbols
-P10 # do 10 builds in parallel ;-)

Not really, great questions :-)
ATB,
Michael.
PS. Spaetz any chance you could add these to the wiki somewhere ? :-)
