unowinreg.dll realy needed on MacOS?

[Raphael Bircher <r....@gmx.ch>]

Hi all

I tray to compile AOO on Mac OS 10.5.7. Whoerve, I run in a configure 
error wich is a bit sreingh.

configure: error: for rebuilding unowinreg.dll you need the mingw32 C++ 
compiler.
          Specify mingw32 g++ executable name with --with-mingwin.
          Or use prebuilt one from 
http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/ and
          put it into external/unowinreg

I wonder if we realy use a dll on a Mac, or is this a error in the 
configure.in?

Greetings Raphael

the dll is necessary for UNO client programs in Java. And to make them
working on all platforms they require this dll. We want support the
development of such clients on all platforms as well and provide a
pre-built version of this dll. You can get it as pre-requiste

wget -O main/external/unowinreg/unowinreg.dll
http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/unowinreg.dll

And of course it is only necessary when you build the SDK.

Thanks for the Link. Ok, this explains a load. It's only used if you 
build with --disable-odk you will not hit this trap ;-) And I ever done 
it this way befor.

I have asked the similar question years before, but as the MAC based AOO
developers are minority group, there is no certain answer about it.

So, would you like to take a look on it?
