-Various unresolved issues with configure:
-----------------------------------------
-
-* --with-gcc-home may cause a warning message to be displayed even if the
- correct version of gcc is found. This should be harmless.
-
-* It is at present time not possible to use --with-local-solenv to point
- to a solenv residing at a non-standard location.
-
-* The configure script also creates a bootstrap script in the top-level
- directory to support the creation of the build executable tools needed to
- bootstrap the build process. These tools normally reside in the
- solenv/$OUTPATH/bin directory for the supported platforms. It is hoped that
- these tools will be removed from the solenv tree at some stage.
-
-Running configure on Windows NT:
--------------------------------
-
-* configure must be run from the Cygnus bash shell. On the bash command line
- type "bash configure <options>" to run the script. The generated winenv.bat
- file must then be executed from the 4NT shell in which you will be building
- OpenOffice.org
-
-* The path to the Microsoft C/C++ compiler home directory must be given as an
- MS-DOS format path on the command line with the configure option
- --with-cl-home. MS-DOS format names are <8 characters in length and don't
- contain spaces. To get the MS-DOS format of a Windows pathname select the
- directory in a window and right-click and choose properties.
-
-* configure automatically copies the top level makefile.rc from the
- config_office directory to the top level directory when run. If you are not
- running configure and are using a pre-generated winenv.bat to set up the
- build environment, then you must manually copy the makefile.rc file in
- config_office to the top level directory.
-
-* It is recommended that you close the Cygnus bash shell before you start the
- build as it might cause problems later on.
-
-
-Some quasi standards for configure
-----------------------------------
-
-* configure will use four type of parameters:
-
- --with-xyz-home to locate an executable tool and related libraries, eg jdk.
-
- --with-xyz to locate a library of that type
-
- --without-xyz to disable a library, not always available.
-
- --enable-xyz to set a compile feature such as debugging.
-
-* Try and make tests as generic as possible, specific is good for early testing
- of a feature but don't keep the pattern, make it generic quickly.
-
-* configure should terminate with an error if it does not locate something that
- is needed for a build to succeed, note that this conflicts with previous
- standards which had a manual entry override. This is less than successful
- configure either works or it fails, no data entry allowed.
-
-Premises for configure
-----------------------
-
-* This is not a true autoconf project. The code base is huge and the ability
- to test for everything is impossible. We are currently supporting only a
- subset of compilers therefore do not need a lot of testing on compiler
- capabilities.
