[Solved] Build Error within LibreOffice Python Module

[Andreas Mantke]

Hi Xisco, hi all,

I tried a bit more and found a solution for my local build.

I installed Python 3.11 and the appropriate meson package from the 
'devel:' repositories and used this within a Python virtual environment. 
I had to activate this virtual environment for the build of LibreOffice 
from source.

It's not possible to change the whole system to Python 3.11, because 
that breaks other useful tools etc.

Regards,
Andreas
