Dear Dev team -
I am diving into OOo's source and the kind folk (thanks caolan) at
#dev.openoffice.org suggested I take my questions here.
By way of introduction, I am looking to see how to fix formatting bugs -
in particular, I have ".doc" documents that do not present the same way
in OOo as they do in the tool in which they were created. These
documents were explicitly created as "torture tests". Unfortunately I
cannot - for now - provide these documents to the OOo Issue tracker.
As an example, I have a six-page document that opens in OOo 2.3 (Linux)
and 2.4 (Windoze); while it renders somewhat correctly, there are
several severe formatting problems. With OOo DEV300_m43, built in a
manner similar to erAck's, the document takes a long time to open and
the process is littered with popups indicating a variety of problems -
see below or http://ooo.pastebin.ca/1359053 - and if I click on the "No"
options (ignore error and continue) enough times, the document
eventually loads and renders, mostly similar to the 2.[34].
I'm ready to dive in to try to fix the error popups and the actual
formatting errors, but the forest is large, and I'm hoping some of you
might be able to suggest some specific areas where I should start my
search. I am actively reading and trying to digest
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Debugging; other pointers are
most welcome.
In the FWLIW category, I worked on the innards of Star Office back in
the very early '90s. I'm sure lots has changed since then...
Thanks for your thoughts,
-Del
Summary of errors encountered while trying to open an M$ Wurd document
in OOo DEV300_m43. Eventually, after lots of clicking on the popups
(below) and CPU spinning, the document comes up and looks pretty much
like OOo 2.x displays it (with similar/same differences from Wurd).
Note that distribution-supplied OOo 2.3 (Linux) and OOo 2.4 (Windoze)
both open the document without complaint.
m43 was built with ./configure --enable-dbgutil --disable-strip-solver
--disable-binfilter --without-fonts --without-ppds --disable-mozilla
--disable-build-mozilla --with-system-stdlibs --disable-systray
--with-build-version="Built by gdm" --with-vendor="Zoran" --disable-odk
--disable-qadevooo --disable-mediawiki --disable-reportdesign
--disable-neon --with-system-zlib --with-system-openssl --with-system-jpeg
