This is a feature request for getting OOo build with current cygwin tools plus
4NT. It is also a HOWTO for doing this with the current OOO_STABLE_1 plus some
files from the HEAD branch. (Thanks ause)

I build OOO_STABLE_1 + patches from HEAD for Windows with a current (1.3.10)
cygwin version.
( Last version was: OOO_STABLE_1 from cvs, date 18.06.2002, 23:00 MET )

I used:

Windows 2K, MS VC++, JDK 1.3.1, MASM (see *)
Cygwin 1.3.10 (including autoconf, bison, perl, zip, cvs etc.) (see **),
4NT Version 4.01 (see *)
adoctint.h and SqlUcode.h (see *)
The gpc general polygon clipper library (see *)

*) http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build_windows.html#BuildRequirements
**) Don't use symlinks! Copy gawk.exe to awk.exe and gtar.exe to tar.exe.

I used the sources for OOO_STABLE_1 from CVS plus some files from HEAD of config
office, dmake, solenv, soltools. See the following script cvsup.sh for the list
of files.

  I used the native windows zip (info zip) this time, but you can also
  use the zip from the cygwin installation if you patch:
    solenv/inc/_tg_zip.mk
  (See http://porting.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=267848&listName=dev
  for details and the patch)

Start a bash shell with all Environement variables set (MSVC++, java), than run
"autoconf" in config_office, and
"./configure --with-cl-home=/cygdrive/c/Programme/MSVS6/VC98
--with-asm-home=/cygdrive/c/mas/bin/win98 --with-use-shell=4nt"
(You have to use YOUR paths not mine! ;-) )

Now you start a 4nt shell with all Environement variables set (MSVC++, java),
call winenv.bat, goto instsetoo and start "build -all".

Wait a few hours, then it is done! (ca. 4 hours on an AMD XP1700)
