Compiling Open Office under Debian - SOLVED

[Russell Weatherburn]

Jim,

Thanks for your reply.

I had been attempting to compile it with gcc2.95 (which the doccos appear to say
that it should work with, but hey?) and changed to gcc3.0 - whallah, after some
screwing around getting another X dev library, it's compiled.

Seems to work a bit better than the version I had previously.  Haven't attempted
to use RTF yet, which was the main reason why I went the "upgrade".

Wrt cvs updating, the inference I got from the web page doccos was that you
could check out the whole source via cvs.  If this is wrong, maybe they should
make mention of it.  I would think it is silly that you can't anyway.

Regards,

Russell
