OK, I simply dont have experience with fedora. I run with ubuntu 12.04, and
the comilers etc. that come with that. I build trunk several times a week
without problems, and of course also l10n40.

But anyhow it must work on other platforms as well.

The problem I had with VC6 was not access() as I thought, it was the std
namespace and a couple of class constructs I use.

It would be nice if we in general "upped" our compilers to the state of art.

I have now added a #include , it seems ubuntu 12.04 includes that

Now I have removed all warnings, so this is now one of the few modules
without warnings (actually that would be a good task for a new developer).

 R1523556 compiles without warnings on ubuntu 12.04 and windows7 (VC2012).

This would not be a good idea, the tool is specifically written so it is
indendent of all AOO libraries, thereby it can be placed anywhere in the
build stream. Using the URE libraries will as far as I can see add quite a
lot of dependencies.

Re: config error on Windows 7

[John O'Sullivan]

Clarence,

The configure script uses flags and env vars to discover the root dir for
the VC install, which is why it's reporting it as found. ./oowintool is
relying on you path being set to pick up cl.exe. You can fix that by
changing your path in Control Panel/System/Environment Variables, or by
running vcvars32.bat from the VC dir tree before you launch the configure
script.

Cheers
John

  No. Regarding the mirrors, it was not ok.

It is a free program, so there can be no question of "cheating customers" as 
there are no customers. The program is prepared by volunteers, as is this 
reply. The Swedish translation was not complete for AOO 4.0 - the volunteers 
perhaps had more important things to do, but it should be available in AOO 
4.0.1 (perhaps about the end of the month).

If you wish to download, you can get the available versions from
www.openoffice.org/download/

Re: Reporting a problem with the OpenOffice website

[Ian Lynch]

First, you need to be subscribed to the mailing list to see replies. I cc'd
you e-mail address for this one. This is an English language list.

Apache OpenOffice is a volunteer community. It is entirely made up from
volunteers and we need more in different countries to support different
languages.

It is difficult to understand from your e-mail exactly what is impossible
to understand - do you mean because you can only find it in English? We are
providing free and open source code, we can not guarantee all languages
will be supported equally, it depends on how much volunteer effort can be
established in particular localities.

Först måste du att prenumerera på sändlistan för att se svaren. Jag cc'd du
e-postadressen för detta. Detta är en engelskspråkig lista.

Apache OpenOffice är en volontär gemenskap. Det är helt består av
volontärer och vi behöver fler i olika länder för att stödja olika språk.

Det är svårt att förstå från din e-post precis det som är omöjligt att
förstå - menar du att du kan bara hitta det på engelska? Vi tillhandahåller
fri och öppen källkod, kan vi inte garantera att alla språk kommer att
stödjas lika, det beror på hur mycket frivilliga insatser kan fastställas
på vissa platser.

--- Additional Comments from Rainer Bielefeld

I revise my opinion that this one is a MINO one. Every time I want to add a
recipient address to a letter I get that "no record found" message, it's really
annoying. Now after 10 years we should do a serious attempt to get a fix, this
bug holds up to ridicule  AOO for professional office users.

I think a 4.1.0 showstopper flag would be appropriate, but that's not
available.

The proposal has been out for 8 days now.  Mostly +1's, though there
was the suggestion that we wait until there is an organized
admin-team.  But then I pointed out that this is not only for
sysadmins, but admins of other systems like Bugzilla, mailing list
admins, as well as being the list for incoming reports from the
public.  My impression was that satisfied any concerns.

To move this forward now I will need some list moderator volunteers
for the new list.  If you can help moderate, please respond with your
preferred moderator email address.

Note:  I'd like us to keep the admin on-topic.   So if moderators
receive emails asking product support questions, I'd expect them to be
rejected, with a note pointing the user to the forums and/or the user
mailing list.

I was one that had a bit of concern, my major concern was the fact that the
list would be archived and have quite a number of people (I think there are
some 30+ people with admin rights on mwiki).

may I suggest that all issues that can be remotely viewed as security
relevant:
- All kind of upgrades
- All kind of changes login handling (spam filters)
- All spam discussions

are NOT to be discussed on this list. Discussing these items would be a red
carpet for those who want to exploit our servers.

My impression was the only mandatory part of a release was the source
tarballs and associated signatures and hashes.  These are few and
small and should not require special handling.

The "convenience binaries" are optional in an Apache release.  (Some
even argue that they are not part of the release at all.)  We
predominately publish these binaries via SourceForge.  Very few get
these from the Apache mirrors.  But we did receive several requests
after the 4.0 release to push these binaries onto the mirrors.  (We
receive even more requests to put them our as BitTorrents)

I'm hoping that there is some way that we can avoid a secondary
distribution mechanism from causing a delay in our primary
distribution mechanism.

Maybe we can resolve this on the website?  Don't list links to the ASF
mirrors at initial release.  Just give the SourceForge links.  Then
after 4-5 days, after we've verified replication, we modify the
website to also point to the ASF mirrors?

This gives four stages:

Stage 1:  Distribute source tarballs, hashes and signatures to Apache
mirrors.  Wait the usual 24 hours.  In parallel replicate the binaries
over to SourceForge.

Stage 2: After the Apache mirrors and SourceForge have their files,
then we announce.  Website only links to Apache mirrors for source and
hash/signatures.  Release announcement happens now.

Stage 3:  We then push out the binaries to the Apache mirrors.  We
don't start this earlier because we want to prioritize the replication
of the source, hashes and signatures.

Stage 4:  After 4-5 days we update website to point to Apache mirrors
as alternate download site for binaries.

Would that work?

Re: Issues with languages in 4.0.1-RC

[Oliver-Rainer Wittmann]

Hi,

sorry for top-posting.

The issue regarding Serbian Cyrillic (sr) and Russian (ru) had been 
analysed. It is a build problem triggered by the changes made to solve 
the build issue regarding Vietnamese (vi) [1].
With some luck issue 84827 [2] was found. It contains the correct 
solution for building Vietnamese (vi) - use Unicode NSIS instead of 
NSIS. This also removes the build regression 123255.

simply needs further testing, or installation of an updated runtime in

- Swedish (sv) is now 100% complete. If, for whatever reason, we need a
RC2 and Juergen wants to do the (non-trivial) integration effort, we
could add Swedish for RC2; Swedish is one of the few "missing languages"

If it makes more sense to have this be a private list, open only to
admins, PMC members, Infra and other Apache Members, then I'm OK with
that.  That would ensure a greater degree of security.  But it would
require discipline of another kind, i.e., that we don't use it for
general discussions that should be done on the dev list.

it makes me nervous to discuss vm security themes on a list where all
different (BZ; blog, web, mwiki, forum, PMC, infra) admins are part of, and
one that is being archived.

Infra is a normal public ML, which are used by all committers to forward
requests to infra.

Infra-private is archived, but only accessible to Apache members and
infra-root, which makes it as secure as we can. But even with that limited
audience, we (infra) never discuss real security issues there and upgrades
are only discussed briefly.

In my mind, the themes I list above, should only be distributed to those
who are actually involved in the particular items e.g.
- A mwiki login change, is only discussed among the mwiki-sysadmins.
- A forum upgrade (with security patches) is only discussed among the
vm-sysadmins for that vm.
- Security patches (like the one issued for mwiki) is not discussed at but
deployed (or not) by the 1-2 persons actually doing the job. After
deployment we dont inform that it is deployed, simply because it would tell
people where it is not deployed.

Lowering the security bar is calling for trouble also if its just done on
an information level.

Starting Introduction to Contributing to Apache OpenOffice Module

[Kévin]

Hello everyone,

My name is Kévin Simon, I'm french and I'm a sound engineer. I have some skills 
in IT because I studied 'multimedia and networks' after high school and before 
I became a sound engineer (but it's a bit far... 7 years ago)

Anyway I'd like to contribute to Apache Openoffice.

Thank you.

Hello Flavio,

Anyone is welcome to help maintain that website.  We are discussing it
on our localization mailing list, l...@openoffice.apache.org.

Pedro (cc'ed) has been working on a new website translation.  You can
see a "test" version of this here:  http://www.openoffice.org/pt-test

Once we've completed this new website we will replace the old version/

Re: Unmaintained pt.openoffice.org

[Alexandro Colorado]

There are a couple of people working in the PT locale and Marco is
also working on the dictionaries.

You can simply talk to them through the mailing list (if there is one)
and get yourself to maintain the website.

The next procedure is to start making commits throught the Apache CMS
or SVN. At the moment you can do the commits via bugzilla, just upload
the patches.

If you are a technical savvy guy you could use SVN to perform a
checkout on the site.

svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/pt/ pt

The next step is for you to open it on your local browser, and perform
the edits, then perform a patch of the directory:
http://jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html

And upload it to an issue on Bugzilla.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/

If patches are difficult because you are on a windows system or never
had the need, I guess you could just upload the new HTML/CSS in a zip
file.

at Apache things are a little bit different. We don't have specific
responsibilities or roles. Everybody can do everything and it depends on
the skills and the level of engagement.

We are all volunteers more or less and some are paid by a company to be
able to spent even more time on the project.

If you know somebody who might be interested to help with this site just
tell him that she/he should start to communicate with us via the mailing
list. And the best way to get start is to send us patches for the site
and of course to search the dialog with us on the list.

We are open for any kind of help and everybody is welcome to join.

Juergen

Re: Students looking for an opportunity to contribute

[Regina Henschel]

Hi Stephanie, hi Caroline,

Stephanie Tilden schrieb:

Hi!  I have emailed dev-subscribe to subscribe to the Apache Open Office
Mailing List with the same information that follows:

I am a Computer Science student at the University of Notre Dame.  I have a
year experience in C++ and am now in a Data Structures course, where we
have a final project that includes becoming familiar with and adding or
editing a feature (data structure related) of an open source project.

We are working in groups of two.  My partner for this project and I are
wondering if there is an opportunity in the Apache Open Office community
where you need a data structure added or edited in your project.  We have 3
months to work on this project.  Please let us know if you have any options!


Apache OpenOffice is huge, with a history of about 15 years. Therefore a 
new data structure is only added, if it provides an advantage or is 
really needed. If you will improve existing data structures, then we are 
likely find an area for you.


For example, AOO has several classes for handling strings. Some are 
oldish. You can examine the existing solutions, find there problems and 
make suggestions to consolidate the classes.
Or you look at a special missing feature, svg gradients for filling of 
draw objects for example, and make proposals about necessary changes in 
the model.


Another area dealing with structures are the import and export filter. 
Documents are stored in special file formats, proprietary or open 
standards, and need to be converted to the internal structures. There 
are missing features in this area too.


On important aspect is, whether you need to deliver a patch, that will 
be integrated in the source, to satisfy the course requirements.


Will you spent your whole time on this project, or do you have other 
tasks or courses parallel?


Kind regards
Regina

RE: EXTERNAL: Re: Building comphelper

[Steele, Raymond]

I removed the -library=no%Cstd from the two files and performed a clean build, 
but still have the same issues. Also, I am untarring the BOOST package version 
1.48  so I downloaded the zipped version and unzipped it, placed the resulting 
boost directory in /usr/local/include after using --with-system-boost 
configuration. Still no luck.  I also reconfigured with --without-stlport.  It 
still appears that I it is using 
/opt/aoo-4.0.0/main/solver/400/unxsoli4.pro/inc/stl/climits.SUNWCCh.

Good, so the vigra erf() problem can be considered as solved.

I found [1] ("Whoever created that tar file did so on a platform that
allows gid_t values of 32bits."), and this probably means the boost
tarball was packed on a too new system. Or that gtar on your system
needs to be updated.

The compiler option "-library=no%Cstd" could have introduced some
trouble. In AOO 4.0 we want to use this compiler STL (wrapped with
boost's TR1 library to fill the missing TR1 pieces and for easier porting).

I see this flag is set in
main/solenv/inc/unxsol*.mk
and in
main/solenv/gbuild/platform/solaris.mk
and suggest to remove it in all places.

> #1 "/opt/aoo-4.0.0/main/solver/400/unxsoli4.pro/inc/stl/climits.SUNWCCh"

This header shouldn't be there if your configure step used the
"--without-stlport" option. If you didn't use the option then please
reconfigure the AOO build using it.

Please see e.g. the Linux configure options in [2] as a reference.

These other grepped lines are interesting too, but with the two
suggestions I made things could change considerably here.

Re: OOo4Kids and a way to use the extension Read Text

[Alexandro Colorado]

One of the things OOo4Kids did was remove Java dependencies. Java runtime
is demanded by the use of macros. So this is a reason why it doesnt work,
nor it will work.

However as a teacher (I assume you are) you could use Apache OpenOffice to
produce the documents for the kids.

I think PyUNO is supported, but I would need to research that.

OOo4Kids and a way to use the extension Read Text

[Klaus Rosen]

Hello,

I hope this is the right place for my question ...

I want to use the extension "Read Text" with OOo4Kids.
The extension could be installed but there is an errormessage like: 
Scriptlanguage Basic is missing.

I think that Basic is not implemented in OOo4Kids, right?

Is there (an easy) way to "install" Basic on OOo4Kids?

I need it (at a school) for Win 2008 Server (XP-Clients - yes I know :-[ ).

Regards,
Klaus

The list does not accept attachments, so I'm answering this from knowledge of 
usual problems that give your symptoms. 

Start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc). As far as I remember there is a checkbox on 
 the window (at bottom) which says "show processes for all users"(words to that 
effect). Make sure this is checked and then kill any soffice processes shown on 
TM's Processes tab. Now, without rebooting, install OpenOffice.

It is possible that the Quickstarter was enabled by the Administrator or 
installer of your system; the above method should cure the problem

Re: OOo4Kids and a way to use the extension Read Text

[Alexandro Colorado]

Well OpenOffice also support python and there are even some guides to
migrate your code from Basic to Python. Also I would suggest if the
developer is interested, he can migrate it to python for you.
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Python/Transfer_from_Basic_to_Python

The forum is full of Python specialists and would  happily lend you a hand.

error:cppuhelper/implbase4.hxx: No such file or directory

[Samiththa Bashani]

 when i was going to test the example(RNG) which you provided in
calc/Add-in/Simple Calc Add-In in Apache open office wiki I got the error
"cppuhelper/implbase4.hxx: No such file or directory" while exucuting make
file. Can you give a solution for this problem?

Scrollbar in OpenGrok is missing in my browser

[Regina Henschel]

Hi all,

perhaps someone has an idea what might be wrong with my browser. I use 
Seamonkey 2.20 (similar to Firefox) on Windows 7.


When I search on http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org and then click on a 
line in the search results, the referenced file should be shown and the 
cursor set in that line at top of the window.


I get the file, but it starts at line 1. And worse, the Seamonkey window 
has no vertical scrollbar and mouse wheel does not work to scroll.


If I change to the "Paper White" style sheet, the scrollbar reappears 
and disappears again when I switch back to "Default" style sheet.


It is no general Problem with Seamonkey, scrollbar works fine for other 
sites. Even on the search result page of OpenGrok scrolling works, but 
not for view of directories or files.


Any idea?

Kind regards
Regina

I'm having problems installing OpenOffice 4.0.0

[Matt Coles]

I keep getting a dialog box that tells me to exit OpenOffice.org 3.3 and
OpenOffice.org 3.3 Quickstarter. But I have searched my entire computer and
I don't even have those files on the computer, so I can't have them open.
But the installer won't let me finish unless I exit them. What do I do?

I have included a picture of the dialog box.

Thank you.

Thanks.  I've checked in your latest changes and I then made some
additional corrections.  I think we are almost done now, so I won't
send you a complete ZIP anymore.  It will be easier for you to just
modify the files that have changed.  The latest can always be found
here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/pt-test/

The HTML for this is:


   
   
   
 

and the CSS is:

.topsrchbox {
  width: 220px;
  padding-right: 20px;
  text-align: right;
}

So right now we don't have separate widths per language.  It is all a
single value.  But this is not optimal since some languages will
require more space.

>  * topnav, left side is in English;

I assume you mean where it currently says: "home >> pt-test" ?

This is the "bread crumbs", that shows you the path from the root
homepage.  It is automatically created based on the names of the HTML
pages.  The exception is "home" which is hard coded.  Dave Fischer
might have an idea of how or whether this word can be translated in NL
web pages.

>  * Main index, I want to learn more points to English page, so it's not
>reviewed;


I fixed some errors here.  So all of the main  index page links should
now point to the translated pages.  But please review:

http://www.openoffice.org/pt-test

>  * Main index, Download points to English page;

This page is the correct Portuguese version, but some of the text is
generated in Javascript.  So it requires some special work to
translate.

The code is in blocks like this in download/index.html:

if ( hasMirrorLink() ) {
if ( LINK.toLowerCase().indexOf( "sourceforge" ) != -1 ) {
  // Download directly from a mirror with displayed platform and language.
  document.write( "" );
  document.write( "Download
Apache OpenOffice " + VERSION + ""
  + "Click here for the most recent
version for:"
  + "" + UI_PLATFORM + " and " + LANG_ARRAY[ 2 ] + "
(~" + FILESIZE + " MByte)" );


That is what generates the text for me (en_US on Windows):

"Download Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0

Click here for the most recent version for:
Windows (EXE) and English (US) (~137 MByte)"


If you are comfortable editing Javascript then go ahead and modify
that code.  Otherwise, just sent me the translation for the above and
I can apply it.


Also, translation for:

"Signatures and hashes: KEYS , ASC , MD5 , SHA256 , How to verify? |
Release Notes |
Get all platforms, languages, language packs | Source code and SDK |
Portable USB versions and third-party ports | Old and legacy version:
3.4.1 + 3.3.0"


We really need to find a cleaner way to separate the Javascript logic
and the translation strings here, otherwise we'll run into problems
every time we need to update the translation or the logic!

>  * Left menu points to English pages;

I fixed that, I think.

>  * Writer, Calc and Impress pages have a broken download link;

I fixed that.

>  * Base page has a missing screendump;

I fixed that.

Note:  if you look closely the screen shots are of the English version
of OpenOffice, showing an English language document.  If you want to
create screenshots in Portuguese you are welcome to do that instead.

>  * topnav, support, books about AOO, book page is a broken link;

We can do one of two things here:

1) We can point this to the general page which lists written about
OpenOffice:  http://www.openoffice.org/support/books.html

2) If there are Portuguese language books about OpenOffice we can list
them on a special page that you maintain in the NL web site.

Fixed.

There should be no more links to "xx" pages.  Let me know if you still
see those.

Since some of these issues will be experienced by other translators it

Re: Students looking for an opportunity to contribute

[Stephanie Tilden]

We have other courses parallel, so we will probably want to find a
relatively smaller project in comparison.  We can spend a few hours a week
on this for three months.  We don't need to add a new data structure for
our project, and we'd be happy to edit and help improve an existing one.
 We would be happy to look at the classes for handling strings, or import
and export filters.

What do you think is reasonable for us to handle?  We each have experience
with C++, and would be happy to help with whatever you think is reasonable.

Re: Unmaintained pt.openoffice.org

[Marco A.G.Pinto]

  
  
Hello Flávio,
  
  The Caixa Mágica web page hasn't been updated since 2006. I
  believe that back then the guy in charge was Rui Vilela.
  
  Currently, the persons in charge of the pt_PT dictionaries are
  from Minho University.
  
  In the past few years I have been doing my best to help improve
  the dictionary, by sending lists of non-existing words to them.
  
  I have also offered myself to improve the Thesaurus, since they
  didn't know how to do it. In order to do that I have developed my
  own tool.
  
  I haven't added many words to the Thesaurus because I have been
  very busy with other projects, such as the British dictionary for
  Mozilla, and LanguageTool pt_PT.
  
  It would be great if we could get a team of Portuguese guys to
  update the pages.
  
  
  Kind regards,
   >Marco A.G.Pinto

​OpenOffice is a very large codebase, with many million of lines of code. I
would certainly not try to discourage you but, I think this project is too
large to munch. That said, there are other ways you could help. You could
code extensions, these extensions are much smaller projects with not that
many lines of code, and you can create patches for it.​

​Apache OpenOffice create extensions in Java, Basic, Python, Javascript and
other languages, C++ is not as widely used because you need compilation for
that. That said, I have seen some tutorials using C++ to code libraries for
extensions. Hopefully a more seasoned developer can advice with the status
of developing for the API.

I suggest to join the a...@openoffice.apache.org mailing list where more
extensions developers can meet and also the API forum at:
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=20&sid=1046df9a9de2de51f772399bfa9a6a7f

it's true that AOO is a huge project but that is natural for such a huge
system. The point is that you can specialize on certain areas which are
then much more comparable to other projects.

Extension are good but they should not be used to extend core
functionality. Well I am big fan of extension I have driven the
programmability story of AOO for many years. But what we need more is
developers who are willing to dive deeper in the core, help to fix
issues or help to implement feature requests. Or who are interested to
join us in the work on an improved OOXML filter, a format that becomes
more and more popular, which is also an ISO standard and can't be
ignored if we take it serious. I am big friend of ODF but OOXML becomes
probably more important in the future if I like it or not.


I would recommend to build the office on your own and debug the code
later on. Pick an issue or area of your interest and step through the
code to learn how things work.

It can be of course a challenge to subdue such a beat of code ;-)

We are here to help, fell free to ask questions.

John,
Thanks for your information, I tried these two methods but they both don't

I'll check if there is some environment problem on my machine.
