hi,all
I have met some problems when I am building OOo_SRC680_m247 with MinGW on
Windows XP.
I just want to compile with mingw now.
I got the information here:
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_mingw.html
Welcome to mingw port world!
However, if you are willing to contribute to OOo community by writing some
application
fragment, mingw is not a good platform. If you are planning to do so on MS
Windows,
Microsoft Visual C++ is the standard tool. You can also use free Express
version and
you can find building instruction on Wiki pages.
I think the efforts by Volker on codeline 625 was abandoned and maybe the web
page is
obsolete. I am taking over the task on SRC680 and DEV300.
Please note that mingw may not substitute MS Visual C++ even if the port is
completed.
I am doing the port for checking code portability in windows native modules and
for
fearing Microsoft may discontinue providing free compiler in the future.
My effort on SRC680 is almost completed but I stopped it because we have
switched to
DEV300. My effort on DEV300 is also leaving a few build breakers.
You can find my draft build instructions here. It is for SRC680.

Some required SDKs are too old and maybe you cannot get them.
I have not made instruction document for DEV300 as there is no documents for
other
platforms. You can find changed requirements for DEV300 in my following issue.

If you dare try build on mingw, the documents may be of some help.
