Saying compiling OO is idiotic is a bit harsh and a generalization, |
| 15 |
but there are merit to the underlying idea. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
First off, as far as I can remember, compiling OO from source and |
| 18 |
installing the binary version is not exactly the same. The source one |
| 19 |
install OO from go-oo.org while the binary package is the normal Sun |
| 20 |
OO. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Another reason is that OO is reputed for having a very complicated |
| 23 |
build system that takes up a lot of resources to complete. Depending |
| 24 |
on the hardware you are doing this on "using a binary package that |
| 25 |
most likely doesn't fit into your otherwise self-compiled system" may |
| 26 |
not be that idiotic. |
