6GB may be a bit tight with 8-8. bear in mind that a 8-8 setup could
result in 64 task running at once...
I have 2x2.8 Quad-Core + 32GB of memory. I set aside 15GB for a
temp_ramdisk and another 3GB for a ccache ramdisk. so that leave me
with 14GB of memory...
you want to keep an eye on your memory while the build is running...
if you start swapping, reduce the --max-jobs

because the SDK bring in perl dev environemnt, and I thought that it
_could_ have pulled-in Archive/Zip
either way it would affect autogen because configure _do_ test that
you do have it (the SDK)

Well apparently that's not 'perhaps' :-)

It may be deprecated (but then SDK 10.4 is deprecated too ) but it is
certainly still used. case in point :-)

You had it because a dependency was missing, others probably had it
(me included probably, but I can't remember... I may have had it
installed already for unrelated reasons) and installed the required
dependency.
But the wiki should probably be updated to mention that.


Hope you get running soon. It would be nice to have a Mac Dev take a
look at having libreoffice not depend on SDK 10.4 anymore :-)
