Its not obvious how to set up the initial build environment.

I think there needs to be instructions about how to get to the bleeding
edge versus how to get to a baseline starting point.   There's going to be
a lot of folks out their fighting their way to get stuff set up.
Comment 1 Martin Hollmichel 2000-10-21 18:36:38 UTC 
Yes, we are aware of this problem. We continue working on documentation.
Comment 2 Unknown 2000-11-01 18:49:58 UTC 
I have added a top-level summary of the full Linux build to the build
documentation at http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build.html (see
Overview of Performing a Full Build). 

Does this resolve the issue? If not, please clarify the problem further.

Comment 3 Martin Hollmichel 2001-04-16 10:24:04 UTC 
I think, it's still not simple enough, the goal should be to type configure and
all other needed steps should be described by configure error messages.

There are some items which still complicated:

- search for the STL - Library
- search for the JDK
- search the Compiler (Windows)
- simplify the bootstrap process
	we're working here in Hamburg for 
		- move of binaries from solenv to some other place
		- introduce automake/autoconf process for dmake (makedepn, ...)
		- seperation of the UDK from the openoffice.org build ->
			reducing of prerequistes
		- implementation of  deliver, mkout in perl

configure script and doucumentation have been updated. set up of the
initial build environment is now easier.
Comment 6 chris 2002-11-07 14:10:20 UTC 
Verified - there are several build guides available and most obsure
build problems are gone in 643+ builds.
