(Especially, since --with-package-format -now triggers whether or not installation sets are built, all the relevant *.conf -files specify it, except for LibreOfficeLinux.conf, where the TDF build -instructions pass an explicit --with-package-format="rpm deb" in addition to ---with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux.) - -(Possibly the above is a misunderstanding, or maybe there never even -has been any clear consensus what situations these files actually are -intended for.) - -The files contain sets of configuration parameters, and can be passed -on the autogen.sh command line thus: - -./autogen.sh --with-distro=LibreOfficeFoo - -Contrary to the above, in the Android case the amount of parameters -you just must use is so large, that for convenience it is always -easiest to use the corresponding distro-configs file. This is a bug -and needs to be fixed; also configuring for Android should ideally use -sane (or the only possible) defaults and work fine without any -parameters at all. |
