Thread: OpenOffice compile
Off topic, but I thought this was interesting. This is information about compiling OpenOffice.

I think that the problem with OpenOffice is that it comes from StarOffice. Last time I downloaded SO was 5.2 and had over 70MB of binary, compressed. Anyway, I don't think you can get it smaller, but, as the people of OpenOffice are doing, you can always split it up, modularize it, so it is easy to make changes. P.D.: Linux kernel hasquite an amount of lines of code, but the developers have no problem finding bugs and all the stuff. Saludos.... :-) -- Cualquiera administra un NT.

OpenOffice hardly compiles anywhere, and it needs an _exact_ version of the compiler as it tries to do it's own exception handling. Very strange. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc.

Very strange. i beleive that Mozilla suffered from a similar fate when released by Netscape. while i don't know alot of people using Mozilla directly, i am aware of a number of offshoot applications that are using the base source code. i would agree that source-suites with 10 million lines of code are rather un-wieldy. however, i fully support the efforts of any group that tries to make it a more sane thing. OpenOffice/StarOffice/whatever would be a wonderful boon to the OSS movement. it would be nice if the database engine behind it was a full fledge SQL system like postgres. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ Now with more and longer words for your reading enjoyment. ]
