<http://andreasmaooo.blogger.de/stories/1685775/>: "But after source 
LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh and ./bootstrap the make command stoped in the 
directory cppunit with an error: 
`/local/ooovanilla/ooodev_hg/newworkingDEV300/cppunit/unxlngx6.pro/misc/build/cppunit-1.12.1'
dmake: Error code 2, while making 
'./unxlngx6.pro/misc/build/so_built_cppunit'

"I can't find a solution for this issue but I get help from Thorsten 
Behrens in the go-oo channel. He pointed me to a patch in the go-oo 
repro: build-allow-system-cppunit-1.12.0.diff. This patch changes the 
line in the configure.in from
PKG_CHECK_MODULES( CPPUNIT, cppunit >= 1.12.1 )
to
PKG_CHECK_MODULES( CPPUNIT, cppunit >= 1.12.0 )"

Andreas, please file an issue to lower CppUnit requirement to 1.12.0 
then.  (And whoever wrote that apparently trivial go-oo patch -- why did 
you not bother upstreaming it?)

(<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Test_Cleanup#CppUnit_1.12.1> 
"minimal required version for now arbitrarily 1.12.1" -- I just grabbed 
the then-newest version and did not bother to check with anything else, 
so chose it as the minimal requirement. If it turns out that certain 
environments would benefit from a lower requirement, and the lower 
versions actually work fine in OOo, we should adapt that accordingly.)
