Re: does anybody still use tcsh to build OOo?

Hi,

AFAIK tcsh doesn't work anymore anyway - at least it's not supported 
anymore. I think that the only reason that we still create two scripts 
is that nobody was annoyed enough to remove the code doing this. :-)

Months ago I worked on that but then got in serious merge conflicts as 
somebody else did some "refactoring" in configure.in. So I just 
abandoned that work. AFAIR the fix was quite annoying work as the 
generation of the scripts is scattered over the code.

Regards,
Mathias

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
