Alright, thanks for all the help so far. To answer your questions, I'm
using openSuse 11.2, on a fairly new dual core laptop. Um...about the
dependencies...I went to the repository for openSuse and installed both
build and bootstrap, but I'm not quite sure that was the right thing to do,
which brings up another question. On the linux build dependencies page, it
lists a command that I should use, but sudo zypper si -d
OpenOffice_org-bootstrap # for OpenSUSE, but I recieve an error about
how the OpenOffice_org-bootstrap doesn't exist.
I did try removing the unxlngi.pro, and rebuilding, but that didn't
solve the problem. So, as far as I can tell, the problem is with this line
of code: PR_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(size_t) <= 4); in
function SECStatus RNG_RandomUpdate(const void *data, size_t bytes)
Apparently, the "size of array arg is negative", although I have no idea
what's going on. I tried using the code search on opengrok, but it said
that PR_STATIC_ASSERT didn't exist, so I'm fairly lost, so it probably is a
git problem.
Any help would be appreciated, but I'll go to irc.freenode.net and try
to get some there.

Hi, I'm new to opensource, so tell me if I'm asking very stupid
questions, but,
Your questions seem sensible, and welcome to open-source (or
Free
Software ;-).
* Where is bin/g? I can't find it anywhere, and it seems to be
all over the place on the wiki
Ah - then - perhaps this can be your 1st contribution :-) We
used to
use bin/g with the 'build' build method, but now we have the
'bootstrap'
build method, it should be replaced thus:
bin/g -> g
ie. it is in the top-level directory now.
* The build failed, and I have no idea why. The error's in the
nss module, in
clone/libs-extern-sys/nss/
unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/nss-3.12.8/mozilla/security/nss/lib/freebl/drgb.c,
and I've attached a copy of the error. What should I do?
Nasty ! I've seen that myself in the past; and chased it into
the long
grass for a while; but I forget what fixed it. Apparently it compiles
ok
for me now.
More details wrt. your distribution, and so on would probably be
most
helpful. How did you install the pre-requisite packages ?
Anyhow - worth a try deleting the output and re-buiding it (cf.
the rm
command at the end of the build failure message) , but I'm not that
optimistic; can you get on IRC so we can dig into it more ?
#libreoffice
on irc.free <http://irc.freenode.net>node.net<http://irc.freenode.net>?
Thanks,
Michael.
