Re: [Libreoffice] instructions for building on windows with OneGit

Hi

I'm really sorry, but it seems like this is just completely my own fault.
Apparently MS-Windows works around this issue by preventing people from creating accounts with the 
same name as the
machine.
When I installed this machine and ran into that, I assumed it was a bug and found a way to force 
windows to make my
machine name the same as my account name.

So I've been wasting your time - sorry about time. I'll rename my machine and that should make this 
problem go away.

Regards, Noel.
