Hi
I see there was a historical attempt to upgrade the build environment
to gbuild which migrated some modules
(https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_Environment_Effort), and a
more recent attempt, Capstone 2013, to get AOO to build in Visual
Studio.
Have we chosen a final build system yet?
The reason I ask is that I became quite familiar with gbuild in the
course of migrating our unit tests to Google Test, and have already
successfully migrated one dmake module (formula) to gbuild, so if
there are no objections, I am going commit those changes and carry on
migrating other modules.
Go for it! When you say "migration" do you mean a COMPLETE changeover or
would we have both the dmake approach and gbuild for a time? It's important
to use a build system that has more universal acceptance in my opinion.
IMO, the important thing is to use gbuild and not necessarily emphasize the
Visual Studio aspect.
And, THANK YOU for taking this on.
yes, thanks for taking over this and trying to bring it to the end.

Our current hybrid build.pl + dmake/gbuild system is complex, ugly,
slow, unreliable, and hard to maintain, and I believe it's also a
barrier of entry for new developers
I think many of us would agree with this. Although, the current build.pl
does provide some nicety in its own way.
(https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_System_Analysis). LO has
already migrated their build system to pure gbuild. Shouldn't we?
