        dnl is an m4 comment statement ;-)

        Fine - again; I really think that starting at OO.o 2.1.0 is a waste of
time. Certainly, you will have lots of odd trouble compiling it.

        I would -really- strongly recommend building the very latest
libreoffice from git; as described here:

        http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/

        That should work out of the box (as it were); though perhaps running:

        ./g checkout libreoffice-3-5

        will give you a more reliable build.

        All the best,

                Michael.
