Hi Martin,
that's nice to read. We also have tried to separate platform
dependendant parts as much as possible, as we didn't like the way it is
spread over too many files currently. But OTOH we expect the transition
to last for several months, so it won't help you in the short run.
Best regards,
Mathias

Hi Mathias
We from the OpenVMS port welcome your decision to move to GNU Make this
will simplify our port in a reasonably big way.

Hi,
as you might have heard, we are working on a new build system based on
GNU Make. We have started with a few modules and now are able to build
them on Linux Intel (32 and 64 Bit), Windows, Solaris (Intel+Sparc)
and MacOSX Intel. Now we want to work together will all active porters
to support their ports with our new build system also.
I am writing to you as you are either known to work on an OOo port
that we don't build in Hamburg or you might know who works on such ports.
To my knowledge Nakata Maho works on the FreeBSD and Mac PPC builds,
Caolan is listed for several Linux ports on the porting web site. Yuri
Dario is listed for an OS/2 port. I couldn't find anyone listed for
the mingw port. So it would be nice if we could verify this
information, add missing porters and also missing ports we should take
care for.
We would like to start using our new build systems for parts of OOo in
the near future. The question is: which ports must be supported then
from start (as they are built regularily), which ports can be
supported later (means:until the next release) and which ports are
considered to be dead or obsolete.
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. Windows was a "bit" harder though. :-)
Of course we will have to port our next steps also, but we already
have done most of the heavy listing now as we have implemented C/C++
compiling and linking, resource file compilation and localization.
Regards,
Mathias
