Re: FRAUDULENT SALES OF OPENOFFICE

[Pavel Belski]

Hi,

I'm by no means an expert on opensource licenses, so i just want to clarify
something

As I understand it, there is nothing wrong for someone to sell or repackage
open sourced software, most open source licenses explicitly allow that.
Provided of course that certain conditions are met(like one has to ship
software sources with the product, is not allowed to change license and
some other things?)

In this case i don't exactly believe those listings are fraudulent just
because they sell a product one can get for free somewhere else.

It's how i understand the issue anyway.

Building the current revision of 4.1.4 right now, it will take several
hours but for now it's looking good.
I will inform you as soon as it is ready

Re: Strange error while building OO for windows

[Pavel Belski]

I tried to build OpenOffice from svn's AOO413 tag today, this time
successful.

Still i have to say that the wiki page with step-by-step guide has some
errors that i had to deal with(or it's outdated a bit).

Things that I encountered so far:
1. Suggested ./configure option list in the wiki is missing a compulsory
"--disable-directx" option(in case you are not building with DirectX of
course). This is a minor complaint, as the ./configure script will inform
you about missing options.
2. AOO413 build process will terminate with an error when running javadoc
on some Java sources - most likely due to this breaking change in JDK8:
http://blog.joda.org/2014/02/turning-off-doclint-in-jdk-8-javadoc.html. As
result, building AOO413 with jdk8 seems impossible if there isn't an easy
way to forward -Xdoclint:none option to javadoc. JDK 7 works.
3. It could be helpful to write somewhere in build instructions that dmake
doesn't try to rebuild failed modules automatically if they aren't
recognised as "changed". I only noticed this while reading
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Debug_Build_Problems, and AFAIK every
other build system behaves differently(nmake, cmake/qmake, make ...)

Building with symbols/debug mode enabled right now, should finish by
tomorrow morning. Then i'll do something with it.

Strange error while building OO for windows

[Pavel Belski]

Hi all,

currently i'm trying to build Open Office from svn sources, closely
following the guide in
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#Windows_7.2C_Windows_8.1.2C_Windows_10.
The trunk revision i currently have is

Pavel@Pavel-PC /cygdrive/c/oosources/aoo-trunk
$ svn info
Pfad: .
Wurzelpfad der Arbeitskopie: /cygdrive/c/oosources/aoo-trunk

Letztes Änderungsdatum: 2017-04-29 18:32:21 +0200 (Sa, 29. Apr 2017)

Steps that are marked as "optional" on the Wiki page i skipped except for
usage of dbghelp.dll(i configured with --enable-dbgutil). While trying to
build with "build --all" everything goes fine until this:

=
Building module gtest
=

Entering /cygdrive/c/oosources/aoo-trunk/ext_libraries/gtest

mkdir: cannot create directory './wntmsci12/misc/build/gtest-1.7.0/': File

gb_Deliver_deliver: file does not exist in solver, and cannot b.  Stop.red:
/cygdrive/c/oosources/aoo-trunk/main/solver/420/wntmsci12/inc/gtest/gtest.h
dmake:  Error code 2, while making
'./wntmsci12/misc/build/so_built_oo_gtest'

1 module(s):
gtest
need(s) to be rebuilt

Reason(s):

ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making
/cygdrive/c/oosources/aoo-trunk/ext_libraries/gtest

When you have fixed the errors in that module you can resume the build by
running:

build --all:gtest

As i understand it couldn't build some module and so doesn't find it on the
"deliver" step. The thing is, i don't see any compiler/linker error
messages and so have no idea what's up with this and where do i even start
trying to figure it out i also have no clue. Is this even something wrong
on my end or perhaps the svn trunk i have is unbuildable. What is OO dev
policy on acceptable build status of svn trunk revisions?

Any ideas on what i should do next?
