32-bit Xubuntu 14.04 build broken

[Damjan Jovanovic]

Hi

I have been trying to get my Google Test patches working on other
platforms, but cannot even get the first of those platforms to compile
the unpatched AOO SVN :-(.

=
1. CoinMP cannot be downloaded
=

No Ubuntu package (or is there?) so it has to be downloaded during
./bootstrap, but it seems the website has been down for a few days
now. This prevents the use of --enable-category-b, but we can proceed
by leaving that option out.

===
2. main/svl  fails to link due to missing __stack_chk_fail symbol
===

This is a total mystery, reproducible in both VirtualBox and in a
separate instance on bare metal:

./configure 
--with-dmake-url=http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2

I saw that __stack_chk_fail is defined in
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6, and when I tried to run that link
command with "-lc" added to it, it worked and the build completed. But
why? Everything should link to libc by default, and -nostdlib isn't
specified.

Not happy with this situation, I proceeded to look at how other people
compiled AOO on Ubuntu, and that led me to this problem instead:


3. Internal libxslt doesn't compile


Trying this from https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124712#c25
adjusted to leave out category B due to the CoinMP problem, and
manually adding other category B options instead:

I think the Wikipedia editing adventure did not have a good ending.  That is to 
be expected. 

I think that there is no point in attempting to edit Wikipedia in situations 
such as this.  These things invariably end badly.

On the other hand, there are level-headed folk out there, and you might find 
this heartening:
.

There's a technical error, and I have provided correction in a comment.

I have no interest in fact-checking any farther than that.  It's an opinion 
peace and there's no reason to address that.

What I did say, also by comment, was what I think matters.  That is about our 
performance, and how we play nice with others, all in the spirit of producing 
software for the public good.  I believe that what matters is how we conduct 
ourselves and deliver.  That's it.  Slow and steady as she goes.

Subject: Re: Wrongful information on the Wikipedia

Sorry, I missed the infobox when I looked at the page.  You're right,
having "Dormant" there is flat out wrong and very misleading.

I changed it to "Active" just now and added a ref pointer to the 4.1.2
release schedule that Andrea just provided.  I just hope there aren't
certain parties with a vested interest in denigrating AOO sitting around
planning to start a revert war over this.   :-(

# Introduction #

It is an unfortunate truth that, at times, any community will lose valued
members. This site is intended as a means to rejoice in them and their
contributions to our community, and to keep their memory alive.

It is hoped also that this site will help give family and friends who have
not participated in the Apache Software Foundation projects some insight
into the work that their loved ones have been doing here, and also a flavor
of the relationships that they had developed with their colleagues at
Apache.

It is with great sadness, that the  Apache OpenOffice community must report the 
passing of Ian Lynch, one of our PMC members, on May 24, 2105. Ian had been a 
contributor to  marketing and education efforts for OpenOffice long before it 
was contributed to the Apache Software Foundation. As a founding member of the 
Open Source consortium, Ian epitomized what it meant to be a proponent of open 
source.

As a contributor to OpenOffice, Ian's participation in the Marketing project 
was invaluable in establishing OpenOffice.org as a business-class product and 
organization to everyone. In his role as an Education project lead, Ian was a 
strong voice in putting OpenOffice into schools, and finding easy ways to do 
that. His enthusiam for open source, particularly in the education sector led 
to the establishment of INGOTs, International Grades with Open Technologies, a

IMHO this is one of the seldom events when a native speaker should write 
the text, so thanks for taking over this. It reads very good and 
everybody will know what Ian has done and stands for.

to the establishment of INGOTs, International Grades with Open Technologies, a 
low-cost means for students to obtain certifications relying soley on open 
source packages to comply with a variety of EU educational standards. Some of 
Apache OpenOffice's current committers were involved in the early days of 
INGOTs. He became well-known in the open source community.

Ian's life outside of his open source work was filled with accomplishment as 
well. Ian was a competitive weight lifter, and due to his Mathematical 
background, a contributor to adjustment formulas for bodyweight used in that 
sport.

His vast open source experience and global viewpoints will be missed.

Which I have corrected -- and for which I thank you.

And for everyone else out there: if OpenOffice blunders, I will certainly 
report 
it. However, from a narrative point of view, I would much rather tell the 
story of a project that overcomes its difficulties and lives to flourish. I 
like 
a happy ending as much as anyone, so please give me one!
