[dev] Re: delvolper help?
Hi Oliver, since nobody els has answered, I'd like to offer some advice. If you're serious about learning to program, I suggest you start with something smaller than OpenOffice.org. OOo consists of millions of lines of C++ code, which is daunting even for a seasoned developer. If you want to learn C++, a good way is to google for C++ tutorials on the web or - if you have the money - to buy a beginner's book. Microsoft is offering the free Visual C++ Express Edition, which I consider a good choice for a beginner. You could also ask your school, if they have computer courses. Last but not least there are also a lot of computer programming summer camps. I hope this helps a little. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[dev] Debugging UNO references in gdb
Hello, I'm trying to debug an issue with bookmarks in the Writer import filter. Right now my biggest problem is, that I don't know how to get information from the UNO reference objects. The import filter uses cursors and text ranges to insert the bookmarks into the document. I'm pretty sure, that the problem lies somewhere here, but I can't query the cursors and text ranges to make sure. Is there a helper function for gdb or a trick to do this?

[dev] Build OOo 3.2.1 with MediaWiki extension
Hi, I used the configure switch --enable-wiki-publisher to activate the MediaWiki extension. The extension is dutifully built and copied to the solver. But it is not included in the Debian packages and therefore not installed. Am I missing something or is this how it is supposed to be?

[dev] Re: SIGSEGV in SwModify::_Remove
Could you think of a quick and dirty hack to work around this? I'm building my own OOo, so I wouldn't mind using a hack as long as it works :). Sadly I'm stuck with OOo 3.2.1 for quite some time.

[dev] OOo Build on Win: unopkg prints debug info
Hi, I'm building OOo 3.2.1 on Windows. For some reason unopkg and other command line tools print trace info (inserting new mapping) to the console. I'm quite certain, that I didn't create a debug build. I've even defined an envionment variable DEBUG=false. But it's still printing these annoying lines. According to my build log the variable OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL, which supposedly governs the trace output, is set to 0. How do I disable the trace output? eymux -- - To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
[dev] Re: OOo Build on Win: unopkg prints debug info
I didn't use debug=t and setting or not setting the DEBUG variable made no differenceA as far as I can tell. This message (http://markmail.org/message/eqk2lwr6ut4c3msb) from a SUN employee suggests, that OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL will always be greate than 1 for non-pro builds. Does this by any chance mean, that I have to use Visual Studio Professional? Any other ideas? eymux On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 9:37 AM, Stephan Bergmann stephan.bergm...@oracle.com wrote: On 03/15/11 09:24, Andor E wrote: I'm building OOo 3.2.1 on Windows.

Re: [dev] Packing custom XCU with custom build
I'm sorry. I should have noted, that I'm building OOo 3.2.1. main.xcd and postprocess/packregistry seem to be new to OOo 3.3. Is there an equivalent in OOo 3.2.1?

[dev] Provoke crash reporter on Windows
Hi, I'm trying to create my own crash reporter for OOo. My problem is, that I'm unable to crash OOo in a reliable way on Windows. On Linux it's quite easy with the kill command. But Windows has no equivalent. So how do I test on Windows, if the crash reporter is actually working as planned? There must be a better way, than using defective documents from the issue tracker. With regards eymux

[dev] Document Compatibility OOo 3.0.1 - 3.2
Hi, we are currently considering a switch from OOo 3.0.1 to OOo 3.2.1. Since not all our users can make the switch at the same time, they have asked for reassurance, that documents created in both versions are interchangeable. So I have wondered if there is a list of changes or known problems in the document formats between versions. I also would be very grateful for any experiences you have made with exchanging documents between these versions of OOo. Kind regards eymux
