Hi all,
I have successfully built the whole OOo with Cygwin on windows xp, according
the the following document:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Building_OOo_with_Cygwin_on_Windows
Now I modify some files of one module, for example 'sw'. In order to check the
result, do I have to build the whole OOo again and install it? How to debug it
with Visual C++ 2008?
I have searched the mail list archives, there are some answers, but I still
don't konw how to do.
(1)In that case when you want to debug a particular library/module you need to
"cd <whatever module" e.g. "cd sw" for the Writer application. And then "build
debug=true", then copy the built libraries into your OOo installation and point
MSVisual C++ at it.
--------"copy the built libraries": What do I need to copy?
--------"into your OOo installation": Which directory?
(2)Perhaps you can use a non-debug version of OOo, then build only one library
(f.e. the vcl module) with debug=true, exchange the corresponding library in
the OOo directory with the debug library, start the debugger with soffice.bin
and then "break" it. Do you now see some symbols now?
---------"start the debugger with soffice.bin": How should I do it ? I find
soffice.bin under several directories such as 'desktop\wntmsci12.pro\bin';
'solver\300\wntmsci12.pro\bin';
'instsetoo_native\wntmsci12.pro\OpenOffice\msi\patchsoname_file\en-US\00'.
Happy Christmas!
Happy New Year!
