GSoC & error during make

[Mariana Marasoiu]

Hello everyone!


I'm Mariana Mărășoiu from Romania and I am a second-year student at
"Politehnica" University of Bucharest, Automatic Controls and
Computers Faculty. I would like to participate in Google Summer of
Code this year and I want to work on a project in LibreOffice.

I wanted to start with an EasyHack, and I tried first of all to build
LibreOffice. I cloned the git code [1] and installed all dependencies
that were required before running make. But during make, it stops with
the following error message:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
        Oh dear - something failed during the build - sorry !
  For more help with debugging build errors, please see the section in:
            http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development

  internal build errors:

ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making
/home/mariana/Working/git/libo/helpcontent2/source/auxiliary

 it seems that the error is inside 'helpcontent2', please re-run build
 inside this module to isolate the error and/or test your fix:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

/bin/bash
cd /home/mariana/Working/git/libo
source ./Env.Host.sh
cd helpcontent2
rm -Rf /home/mariana/Working/git/libo/helpcontent2/unxlngi6.pro #
optional module 'clean'
build

when the problem is isolated and fixed exit and re-run 'make' from the top-level
make[1]: *** [build] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mariana/Working/git/libo'
make: *** [source-env-and-recurse] Error 2


I re-ran build inside the module as specified in the message, but all
I got was another error message:


=============

   Requires a valid LibreOffice build environment.

I don't know what should I do next. I tried googling the error, but
came up with nothing conclusive. I was hoping you could help me fix
this and finish building LibreOffice so I could start hacking :D.

Thank you,
Mariana Mărășoiu
