Hi,
I am stuck in a problem while building AOO. While calling configure using
the command
SDK_PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0"
./configure \
--with-frame-home="$SDK_PATH" \
--with-psdk-home="$SDK_PATH" \
--with-midl-path="$SDK_PATH/bin" \
--with-directx-home="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft DirectX SDK (June
2010)" \
--with-cl-home="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
11.0/VC/bin" \
--with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.9.4" \
--with-dmake-url="
http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2"; \
--with-epm-url="
http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz"; \
--enable-pch \
--disable-atl \
--disable-activex \
--without-junit
I see "Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0" in your configure script. I think
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Windows
is still valid: "As compiler we use Microsoft's Visual C++ 2008 SP1".
That is "Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0" for me. But Oliver-Rainer
mentioned in the thread linked below, "The Microsoft Windows SDK for
Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 brings the compiler." So there
might be another solution than Visual Studio.
We had a discussion in August, whether it is possible to tweak
oowintool, see thread
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201408.mbox/ajax/%3C53FE28D6.4070205%40apache.org%3E
in the mail archive.
Kind regards

I am getting the following error:
Can't find MS Visual Studio / VC++ at ./oowintool line 236.
configure: error: oowintool failed to copy CRT
Can anyone please help me regarding this as I am stuck from a while now.
Thanks,
Ankit

Hi Regina,
Thanks for the response.
I want to participate in the core development task. I want to start with
bug fixing. (Prefered language C C++ Java)
Bug fixing is greatly appreciated :)
These are the next steps:
* Our communication is done via dev-mailing list. Currently your mail has
bee moderated; that should not be necessary. So please subscribe to
dev@openoffice.apache.org.
* You need to find an issue, in which you are interested. Some issues
have got the value "easy" or "simple" in the field "Developer difficulty"
in Bugzilla. You can search for that values. But there are other issues
which are easy too, but are not tagged as such. Do you have a favorite
module (Draw, Writer,...) or aspect (UI, filter, help, ...)? You can
constrain the search in Bugzilla to that. Do you know how to do an advanced
search in Bugzilla? Or do you want us to point you to an issue?
* You need to get an own build of Apache OpenOffice. You will made your
changes locally, generate a patch, and attach the patch to the issue. There
are descriptions in the Wiki, how to build OpenOffice. We try to improve
the descriptions continually, but you will likely have questions when
building the first time. Please don't hesitate to ask on the mailing list.

Hi Everyone,
I am Ankit Kumar Tekriwal from Bangalore, India. I am currently
working in
Adobe Systems India Pvt. Ltd. as a software engineer( White box
tester).
From past a few months I have been thinking to contribute on open
source
development. Today I was going through the open source communities
and
found that there are 140 projects that ASF currently works on and
there is
an enormous amount of opportunity here to work on.
Yes. It depends on your interests, which of the Apache project fits to
you. OpenOffice has an incredibly wide range of possibilities. You can
contribute to Quality Assurance, Documentation, Marketing, User Support,
Extension development and most wished Core development. Even in Core
development the task vary much. Besides bug fixing - an ongoing task -,
for
example implement filters, or complete the ODF features, or modernize
the
code, or increase the performance. And all that for text documents,
spreadsheets, presentations, database backend, vector graphics, and
charts.
I am new to IT industry as I have joined Adobe a year back only. Please
guide me in my initial steps.
Exited to get started.
I'm sure you will find an area in Apache OpenOffice, which interests
you.
Tell us what you are interested in and we will find a mentor to guide
you
through the first steps.
Kind regards
Regina
