Description Flags
patch to allow building without $HOME set none

Description mmeeks 2003-07-14 09:29:05 UTC 
if you unset the HOME environment variable, the OO.o build works perfectly
except for python/ this is particularly annoying for any packages as most Linux
build systems deliberately unset HOME to avoid user-specifics being compiled in.

The error message is obtuse and most unhelpful; it'd be great to fix this before
1.1.

Thanks.
