hjs: The usage of STAR_RESOURCEPATH is very inconvenient here, unfortunately :(
linkoo just links the libraries from the source tree (*/unxlng*.pro/lib/*) to
the installed OOo (program/*). That simplifies the development a lot; no
deliver, no installation, just do your change, recompile the affected module,
stop OOo, run it again, and that's it. One usually works with more installed
trees, so every time he tries executable in another directory, he would have to
remember to change the STAR_RESOURCEPATH as well. Not that it is not possible,
but...
And---everyone who uses linkoo (well documented on the Ximian OOo pages), and
does not know about the STAR_RESOURCEPATH, just gets a crash in a completely
unrelated place (somewhere in vcl), and has no clue that the resources were not
found in fact.
linkoo comes from Michael Meeks, I guess; adding him to CC:
mhu: I can change the patch so that it searches for the resources according to
the location of the binary as the last possibility, that's no problem. Would
you accept it then, please?
Another possibility would be to not to follow the symlinks to the library
during the search for the resources. What about this?
I apologize for reopening this bug, but at least we have to provide something
better than a crash when the resources cannot be found.
Thank you in advance, and regards,
Jan
