This problem is mostly related to autoconf and automake, it is not KDE or KOffice fault. If however you decide to raise this problem on a mailing-list, don't forget to mention the slowness of the configure scripts. When you install 10 programs ./configure has to detect each time the compiler, the libraries, the Qt location, etc. It could be a lot smarter and store the system-specific configuration parameters into a file (eg: feature an option eg :'--use-database' to use a configure-created database specific to your system). This is a problem for the developers as well, because configure is slow and giving the flags everytime to make sure it will compile is boring. Configure should be more configurable ;-) _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
