Hi For the past month I've been working on preparing the gbuild branch for merge into trunk, and I believe it to be essentially ready.
My work can be found in branches/gbuild-reintegration which started as a branch of trunk to which all patches from branches/gbuild patches were gradually merged, and can be now checked out for testing with "svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branches/gbuild-reintegration";. There is total of 136 patches ported from branches/gbuild, and various others I've written myself to fix problems. The changes are mostly build related but there are others. Here is an overview: * 20 more modules ported from dmake to gbuild, doubling the number of gbuild modules we have. * IDL files build with gbuild. * Java files can also build with gbuild now. * JAR and ZIP can be built with gbuild. * Fixes bugs 117685, 117218, 117340, 116880, 116755, 117350, 117340, 117610, 116959, 117845, 117687, and 117171. Note how at least 116755 is a user-visible bug in OOXML parsing. * Many general gbuild improvements. Better diagnostics when deliver fails, compiler/linker flags are added instead of overwritten, flags can be overridden from the command line, etc. * RepositoryExternal.mk for external dependencies instead of various hacks. * Currently gbuild doesn't pass -D_DLL to MSVC's cl.exe, resulting in the inability to link executables and Google Tests to the C++ standard library on Windows. This is fixed. A RAT scan of the branch is clean. Linux, FreeBSD and Windows build and pass all Google Tests. The bvt QA tests pass and preliminary fvt results look good. I don't have the ability to test Mac OS and it would be appreciated if someone could or remote access could be given to me so I can. MingW might be worth a look. I don't have Solaris, and Illumos needs serious attention, as a large number of patches needed for even AOO trunk to build there, submitted by Alexander Pyhalov on 1 August 2014, still hasn't been committed yet. OS/2 is beyond me. But those strike me as minority platforms and compilers anyway, and can be fixed in trunk at a later stage. Can I merge branches/gbuild-reintegration to trunk now?
