>>In milestones older than SRC680m223 you also have to change the d.lst file in the external/prj folder.

What do you mean with 'older'? I had to do it for m228 as well

>>If you are building with a MSVC 2005

You have to do it also with MS VS 2003

>> As of Dec 27 2008 I was able to build DEV300_m37 on Windows XP with VS2008 Express using the instructions on this page. bobban

required additional packages

Mathias Bauer mentioned in his guide, that in category Shells the package tcsh is needed too, "...it's still possible that one of the tools used for the build is using the tcsh internally because the script calling it doesn't evaluate the environment variable pointing to the shell to use." Is that no longer true? Regina 14:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

That is no longer true for current milestones. You can build OOo completely without tcsh. There is also a post on the tools-ML by RelEng confirming this and "if you need tcsh for building, it is a bug". --B michaelsen 20:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
