        Ah - good point :-) I'll update the build script to print a more useful
message in a bit, but first:

        Yes - you need to:

        cd build/libreoffice*
        source Linux*Set.sh
        cd <directory-that-failed>
        build # it is a shell alias

        'build' is a perl-script, that parses prj/build.lst to work out what
can be built, and how much parallelism the code can cope with.

        yes, and yes - dmake gets all it needs from sourcing that (huge)
environment script; so just run it:

        dmake

        There are some useful flags to dmake and build - the most important
are:

        verbose=1 # let me see the compile lines
        debug=true # enable assertions and debugging symbols
        -P10 # do 10 builds in parallel ;-)

        Not really, great questions :-)

        ATB,

                Michael.

PS. Spaetz any chance you could add these to the wiki somewhere ? :-)
