I have created the guide here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Development/OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide
And these are the page created so far:
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Introduction
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Getting the source
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Basic Concepts
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Build Requirements
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Windows Build Requirements
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Mac OS X Build Requirements
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Linux Build Requirements
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Solaris Build Requirements
Now to the articles that describe the building for the various
platforms.
I have read through the existing documentation, and come up with the
following headlines. Do anyone feel it should look differently?
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Building on Windows with Cygwin
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Building on Windows with Visual Studio
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Building on Mac OS X
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Building on Linux
OpenOffice.org_Building_Guide/Building on Solaris
I would like it more, to have the "Requirements" in the same chapter
as "Building". That means main chapters for the OS and then
subchapters as needed. Otherwise I would again have to "collect" the
information that are relevant for my OS. On the other hand, I do not
know whether a subchapter "Requirements" is really needed. During the
guide [1] you are told, which things are needed and -more important-
what you have to consider when installing it or copying to the right
place.
You're right that they cause too many pages, we don't want to have the
situation we have today.
I plan to move the requirements for each specific platform soon.
You have the two chapters "Windows with Cygwin" and "Windows with
Visual Studio". Is there a way to build OOo with Visual Studio without
Cygwin? I don't know.
I have looked through the various documents for the Windows platform,
and you're right that they use both Visual Studio and Cygwin. It will
thus be only one document for Windows.
For "Windows with Cygwin" link to
[1]
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Building_OOo_with_Cygwin_on_Windows
I'll move this page into this guide, to maintain the history if this is
alright.
When content comes from html pages though I have to copy it though.
The guide is very good. With that guide I was able to get my first
build :)
Then this is the document all new developers should read. ;-)
Thank you Regina.
