Re: [Libreoffice] Newbie question: Windows SDK exact path

Thanks guys

I ran oowintool and it gave me (in cygwin), (Windows7 64 bits under a
VirtualBox 4.1 VM).

Olivier@Olivier-ntbk ~/libo
$ ./oowintool --windows-sdk-home
/cygdrive/C/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v6.0A

Then I peeked at this directory:

Olivier@Olivier-ntbk ~/libo
$ ls -al /cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ SDKs/Windows/v6.0A/
total 456
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug 17 14:48 .
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug 17 15:15 ..
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug 17 14:48 Include
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug 17 14:48 Lib
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug 17 14:48 bin

but, but, but... I get this in autogen.sh:

checking for Windows SDK... configure: error: Some (all) files of the
Windows Installer SDK are missing, please install.

There is another SDK in (note the x86):

Olivier@Olivier-ntbk ~/libo
$ ls -al /cygdrive/C/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Microsoft\ SDKs/Windows/
total 0
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug 17 15:09 .
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug  4 22:49 ..
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug 17 15:09 v6.0A
drwx------+ 1 SYSTEM SISTEMA 0 Aug  4 22:50 v7.0A

I am puzzled! Can Libo be built in a 64bit OS? Should I move to W7 or XP 32
bits?

Thanks again

Olivier
