Subject: [porting-dev] [Mac OS X] some news about OpenOffice.org2.0
on Mactel
Reply-To: [email protected]

Hi,
As you probably know, Florian Heckl, and me have, supported by CUSOON
<http://www.cusoo.org/> and Team OpenOffice.org e.V
<http://www.ooodev.org/>, a mactel (Apple machine with Intel
processors, using Mac OS X).
Just before Mac OS X port meeting**, we have decided to announce the
status of our work...so we can say we are very close to finish a
complete OpenOffice.org2.0 build on Mactel. What fails is
registration in module instsetooo_native (last module).
Please note: Without registration, OOo won't run, but one important
step to port a 2.0 on Mactel is done.
Still there is work to - once registration builds e.g. - find a
solution how to do the packing for this MacTel version of OOo2.0.
To complete, approximatively one month ago (around 18 october ),
Florian built (using Tiger+ gcc-4.x on a powerpc machine) an
experimental "without X11 thing " :-)
I confirm this build on my machine. 3 days later, Florian was able to
provide a screenshot (simple empty window with the title " Welcome to
OpenOffice.org 2.0 " :-) Great work Florian !!
*important* : The porting team needs coders to solve the problem with
registration and maybe there
is a bridges specialist out there too. Fore more informations, or if
you think this description matches
your skills, please contact me directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED] ).
Some complementary informations on the builds:
- we used different ways to get OOo built on MacTel but probably the
same fixes (synchronization of the fixes is in progress).
- Florian used aqua - means build without X11- (build completed
recently)
[ quote : this choice saves some time for dependancies, but is a bit
more difficult to go through vcl... :-) ]
- I was using classical X11 build, and that build finished (excepted
instsetoo_native), around 21-22 oct
Last but not least, thank's again to CUSOON <http://www.cusoo.org/>
and Team OpenOffice.org e.V. <http://www.ooodev.org/> for supporting
us !!
Best regards,
eric bachard
