Yes - but that option did already exist in OOo times, nothing new here... http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/ Even OOo defaulted to try to use the prebuilt one and error out & pointing to the mingw option when it wasn't present in external/unowinreg ciao Christian ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Re: [Libreoffice] unowinreg.dll usage
This shared library is containing APIs that allow to access the registry key that contains an information about the installation path of LibreOffice on windows. If you develop using SDK an application connecting to LibreOffice, and the application needs to know where LibreOffice is actually installed, you cannot read registry using java pure, so this library has a C interface that the Java code can load. Now, on *nix one is most probably achieving the same result by calling which or some similar method. This DLL is available in SDK not only on Windows, because your Java application should be cross-platform and thus bundle this library if it needs it even if developed on *nix. Cheers F.

Tor I am not whining because it is dll, I am asking because it is
another weird file libreoffice requests me to download, and for this
one I was unable to think of any usage.
If you say it is usable for the devel kit when you want to deploy your
tools on windows then it has perfect use case and I am all fine with
it.
Just for the record there are still mutliple bundled things and I
don't like them all the same way, so nothing personal against the dll.

Hi, could someone tell me why 185d60944ea767075d27247c3162b3bc-unowinreg.dll is required at odk enabled build on linux? I can't think of any reason... :) Cheers Tom ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
