No. You don't. Release tarballs don't require you to run autoconf or automake to begin with. And even if it would be required, the autoconf/automake already provided by XCode would be enough. >> so ./configure --prefix=/my/seamonkeydepsdir/ && make && make install >> for those abovementioned requirements is enough.

That is not covered by LO autogen/configure (yet) And when you don't install PKG_CONFIG for those, you have to provide the corresponding environment variables with the corresponding flags, thus pkg-config is just for convenience. ciao Christian _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
