[dev] Linux DLLs?

2005-09-11 Thread Rick Barnes
Hi all,

I am writing a chapter for the OOoAuthor's Calc User's Guide
(http://oooauthors.org/) and I need some clarification on the Calc
function Add-ins. The OOo Windows help says that the function add-ins
are made available through DLLs. But Linux (and other NIXes) use .so
files instead of DLLs.

So is there a 'universal' file type that provides the support for Calc
add-ins? Or, must a developer provide DLLs _and_ shared object (.so)
files to truly be mutli-platform?

If there is a document that explains this subject I would also
appreciate direction to it. Most developer docs I have read are fairly
technical and not at all helpful to me.

Herbert, 

I believe the macro recorder is broken...

Look at my bug report:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=48917

If this is what you mean, vote for it; if not add your own. The macro
recorder is not ready for any mainstream release, I just tested  1.9.104
with the same results.

[dev] Calc's macro recorder is broken

2005-05-15 Thread Rick Barnes
While trying to use Calc's macro recorder (1.9.100) to write the
"Macros..." chapter for the OOoAuthors project; I have found it pretty
much broken...I have filed this issue:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=48917

But this bug report does not address every issue, basically the recorder
is not robust enough to handle macros longer than several keystrokes.
OOo 1.9.100 does not have the ability to record or playback macros that
are easily recorded and played back by OOo 1.1.x. 

Queries of IssueZilla do not even hint at the fact that the recorder is
broken?? I would not rate this as a minor issue, am I missing something?

Hi Niklas,

So it would be safe to write as a notice in the chapter (following the
online Help descriptions):


The errors that are described as “Internal” errors should not be
encountered by a user under normal conditions. Errors that are listed as
“Not used” are not currently assigned to any error condition and will
not occur.


Thanks to you and Joost for your quick replies...

[dev] Calc Error Codes

2005-04-11 Thread Rick Barnes
I am writing the Calc guide "Appendix D: Calc Error Codes" for the
OOoauthors and have questions about a couple of code descriptions.
Actually I need to write them in more user centric language. I would
appreciate some enlightenment on these:

  516


Internal syntax error


Matrix is expected on
the calculation stack,
but is not available.


 

  527


Internal overflow


References, such as when
a cell references a
cell, are too
encapsulated.


Error 516 just escapes me altogether, but with 527 I am wondering if
this refers to functions being too deeply nested within a formula?

The document I am working on can be found here:
