My apologies, you are right. It's in the small(er) print. The large eye-
catching graphic is showing 2.0. I guess I was pre-conditioned to look
for that.

[dev] Configure options for non-localized builds

[Chris H]

All,

I downloaded oob680-m5-core.tar.bz2 to build. If I want to build a US 
English only version of OO do I still need oob680-m5-lang.tar.bz2? Are 
there configure options to allow for a non-localized build? I noticed 
that the lang.tar file contains mostly localize.sdf files, are they 
required to build OO?


Thanks,

--Chris

(description snipped)

If this description contains the complete "API" you need for an
integration I'm sure it is possible to create a component for OOo.
Should we conclude from your mail that you are interested in creating
such a component?

>From your description I assume that DW is a Windows program. Will it be
enough to provide a DLL with a C API like described in your mail? This
DLL can use a Remote Connection to OOo and implement this C-API on top
of the OOo-API, but it also can be instantiated inside the OOo process.
But in the second case I wonder how DW call will these functions. Is it
a COM component or an application?

Maybe this discussion should be moved to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you sure? I had a look on the build 9008 and it showed me the

I just realized that the user listed is Administrators that owns the

Should the whole $SRC_ROOT be owned by the current user?

Re: [dev] OO report issue

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

well first of that's the wrong forum to discuss Base you should ask your
question on the dba-subproject.

Nevertheless OOs reporting capabilities are very low depending but maybe
its sufficient for your needs.

Another idea is to look at other java-technologies:
- http://jasperreports.sf.net
- http://www.eclipse.org/birt

are two of those providing you with visual designers and PDF-Output support.

What about asking the community for these builds? We have currently a few
volunteer tinderbox clients running, see
  .


Yes, I know that there are clients already running - though, are they
covering the range of platforms that Stephan mentioned?

Well, we have ~1.5 pretty fast Windows build systems, currently one linux
(but that number should be easy to increase as it's the most popular platform
with respect to "self-building" and some linux distributions involved here ..)
and I guess you guy's (Sun) should be able to provide some tinderbox clients
for unxsol{i|s}4 builds.

The Mac's are a bonus and shouldn't be broken by new CWSs either.


But we're
clearly not the ones discouraging this proposal. ;-)

IMHO tinderbox builds should be FULL builds with the community style build
system, i.e. not reusing old stuff that's in solver from previous builds.
Can you do that?

[dev] Integrating external program with OOo on Windows - request for assistance!

[mail]

Hi all,

I need you help!

I am the primary developer of a spelling aid for dyslexic users. We offer
interoperability with all major word processors on the Windows platform...
except for OOo. We have investigated internal development, and have gone the
route of hirering external consultants, but so far to no avail.

Perhaps someone here can help?

Description follows...


DyslexiWrite (DW) is a program that provides word predictions, reading functions
and spell checking tailored to the needs of users with reading and writing
disabilities. It works with a wide range of programs, including any program
that utilizes standard Windows "Edit" and "RichEdit" widgets (Notepad,
Wordpad), any program using the Microsoft DHTML control (IE, Outlook, Outlook
Express...) and Microsoft Word. You can download a DW demo from
www.secondguessusa.com.

Our goal is to implement a few functions/methods, preferably encapsulated in an
object (but not necessarily) that will allow DW to integrate with Open
Office/Star Office (OO). The following describes the necessary functions in
detail. See conventions regarding cursor position etc. at the end of this
document.

 bool IsOOoWriterWindow(const HWND w);

Return TRUE if the window referred to by the HWND handle 'w' supports the
functions listed below.

 bool GetContext(const HWND w, char** Context, int &pos);

Fetches, if possible, the current cursor position, and the current text from the
OO window referred to by the HWND handle 'w'. Cursor position is returned in the
'pos' value, and the text in the 'Context'. If the operation is performed
correctly, the function returns TRUE, else it returns FALSE.

 void ChangeRange(const HWND w, char *NewString, const int start, const int
length);

Replace a substring in the current text ranging from position 'start' to
position 'start+length' with the text referred to by 'NewString', in the window
referred to by the HWND handle 'w'.


 void SelRange(const HWND w, const int start, const int length);

Select (highlight) the substring of the current text ranging from position
'start' to position 'start+length' in the window referred to by the HWND handle
'w'.

 void SetSelpos(const HWND w, const int i);

Move the insertion point/cursor to position 'i' in the window referred to by the
HWND handle 'w'.

Conventions:

All strings are 1-indexed. SelRange(1, 2) would thus select the first two
characters of the current text, and not the 2nd and 3rd that a C programmer
would expect. The purpose of this convention is to be able to position the
insertion point/cursor IN FRONT OF the first character, which necessitates the
use of position 0 (zero).

Comments:

oThe use of the HWND handle 'w' is due to the fact that DW will often
manipulate the system, and e.g. change the foremost window.
oIf other methods/signatures come more natural to the OO integration, that´s
just fine by me. The important thing is to get the basic functionality, not
necessarily how it is achieved.

[dev] OO report issue

[Łukasz Bartnik]

  Dear OO Dev Team,

My name is Lukasz Bartnik, I'm a student at Warsaw University of Technology.
I'm need to create pdf documents containing data fetched from a database. The
query which returns the data has its parameters and everything should be
performed in a batch mode. My task is to provide a web page where a user can
choose the document to print (by clicking on its title/id). Then the page is
reloaded and a link to pdf is returned as a result (or the pdf itself).
That's why I'd like to ask You a question: is it possible with OO Base to
create a report by running the program from the command line and providing
mentioned parameters? Previously I've used fop (from Apache Foundation) but it
isn't the right solution. The program itself has some drawbacks (it's a bit
slow) and dealing with all those xml can be frustrating.

To my disappointment, I wasn't able to find any tutorial on this subject.
I'm using OO 2.0.1 on Debian and MySQL 5 (or PostgreSQL). My ReportWizard
won't work because of some Java problems (as far as I'm concerned
it's an open bug) so I have to do everything manually.

I would be very grateful for providing me web addresses with this kind of
reporting explained.

Yours faithfully,
  Lukasz Bartnik

No.  For one, warnings01 is not yet ready, so chances are that our 
current patches are not yet final.  For another, some of the external 
projects OOo uses are old versions of those projects (e.g., boost, 
stlport), so that it is questionable whether upstreaming those patches 
would have any benefit.  However, upstreaming anything relevant is 
definitely something we should consider once warnings01 is stable.

This would be a good idea, especially is organized so that someone who

"Hamburg QA" compatible workspace for various platforms by submitting a
job to build it and auto move it to somewhere where it can be
downloaded.
