AFAIK, mingw port has been maintained by Ono, Takashi cf. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=111958 He's been raising a lot of issues wrt Mingw port. . > We would like to start using our new build systems for parts of OOo in > the near future.

FreeBSD port should be supported later. I guess not so large efforts are req'ed for porting to FreeBSD. I'd like to note that we use "gmake" for GNU make. We have BSD make as "make". > The porting effort shouldn't be hard. We started with Linux (32 and 64 > Bit), it took only 2 days for the two Solaris ports and 1-2 days for > the MacIntel port.
