Good! Welcome to OpenOffice.


Questions/issues:
1. I noticed that the options
--disable-odk, --disable-gnome-vfs, and --disable-gtk, while described
in the help, failed with
-disable-gtk: command not found


Strange. Can you paste the exact syntax you used to call configure?


OK. That error is spurious. I simply forgot a line continuation 
character when I collected the options in a little wrapper script.



This
seems like a wrong concatenation of options. You can also share your
config.log file on pastebin or similar site. I've tried adding
"--disable-gtk" to my options for ./configure and configure ran
successfully.


Yes, with the line continuation character in place, the options are 
recognized. Sorry for the noise.



2. I rather would not build all of Openoffice; I only want to fix the
included Python interpreter and pyuno library.


The build system is complex, to say it nicely, and I can't help you with
partial builds. Maybe someone else will have something to say on this.


OK


Since the OOo build system already contains a
--with-system-python flag, would it be possible to set that flag for
compiling the Debian packages?


Our policy for the Linux binaries we release through the openoffice.org
site is to limit system dependencies to the bare minimum.


I do see the point in general, although the Debian system is rather 
monolithic, and I think Python is installed by default anyway.



The binaries
we ship will thus be self-contained enough for running on virtually
every Linux distribution.


OK. May I still suggest that the bundled Python be built with the flag

--enable-unicode=ucs4

and pyuno with the same or an equivalent setting? That would match the 
system Python on Debian and, as far as I can see, all other major Linux 
distributions, and it might help to make the bundled Python and pyuno 
compatible with system Python and libraries.


Thanks very much for your help, and best wishes

Michael

PDF Writer export code

[Eric Wilson]

Hello,

I wish to explore the PDF export code for writer because I'm
interested how it works in relation to translating bookmarks into
annotations... does it hit test hypertext in Writer to get coordinates
relative to poage for the PDF file or build a spatial map of the
document in memory to get the coordinates? Some other method?

Thanks for your asistance,

Eric

Issues building Apache OOo from source on Debian Jessie

[Michael Palmer]

Hello:

I just tried to build Apache OOo (current SVN trunk, checked out last 
night) from source. I generated the main/configure script and started 
out, setting options and installing missing libraries through the Debian 
package manager as I went along. That worked for a while, but eventually 
I got stumped.


Questions/issues:

1. I noticed that the options
--disable-odk, --disable-gnome-vfs, and --disable-gtk, while described 
in the help, failed with


-disable-gtk: command not found

etc. In the case of --disable-gtk, that actually got me stumped, as I'm 
not sure which libraries/packages I'm actually missing, and I couldn't 
find a proper place in the configure script to disable forcibly (as I 
had done with the others).


2. I rather would not build all of Openoffice; I only want to fix the 
included Python interpreter and pyuno library. I would like to use 
Apache OOo work with the library manager Bibus, which is a Python 2 
program.


Debian ships with Libreoffice, which now includes only Python 3 and thus 
shuts out Bibus. Apache OOo ships with Python 2; however, the Python 
executable and the pyuno library that are bundled in the Debian files 
are compiled with UCS2 (16 bit) unicode support, whereas the Debian 
system Python and libraries are compiled with UCS4 (32 bit) unicode. 
This also makes the OOo and the system Python libraries incompatible.


I guess improving the system/OOo Python interoperability would benefit 
other users, too. Since the OOo build system already contains a 
--with-system-python flag, would it be possible to set that flag for 
compiling the Debian packages? Alternatively, is there a way to compile 
just Python and pyuno from source myself, without having to compile all 
the rest of OOo?


Thanks for any help, Michael
