Hi,
I am a newbie trying to get a status of ODMA for the Universal Content Broker of OO.
I am trying to build the OO so that I can get the status. I downloaded the source from http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/source.html for OO.o 1.1.4. But earlier as
I was referring to the link http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows.html I
installed .NET 2003 and then I realised that I was using 1.x.y series so should follow
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_1.x.y.html for using a 4NT shell.
You don't have to use, there is also a 'build_windows_1.x.y_tcsh.html' but this is just a comment.
I followed the 1.x.y link and found for using .net 2003 I had to go through
http://tools.openoffice.org/source/browse/tools/www/dev_docs/net2003_review.sxw for the
status of MS Visual C++ .net 2003 usability. But the link gives a zip file which could not help me.
Well, this "zip" file is an OpenOffice.org text document. You should know the application you're trying to build ;)
So I followed whatever directions
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows.html gave for using .NET 2003. As I dont
have .net 2002
Then you're out of luck! The OOo 1.1.x series builds only with a .NET2002. You might trick configure to accept .NET2003 but that wouldn't help to build OOo.
I dont have msvcp70.dll and msvcr70.dll which come with .NET 2002 but have
msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll which are bundled with .NET 2003. Also I got the 4NT version
As I said, .NET2002 or nothing.
6.01 from http://jpsoft.com website. But an important note 3 on
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_1.x.y.html says you should have you must
ensure that the initialisation file 4nt.ini is present in the 4NT application directory. I
could not see that file when I installed 4NT in a directory(inspite of selecting to view all
Yes, that's exactly the reason for that note. Create it.
folders including hidden operating system files). The rest of the tools I got as needed. Now
when I run the configure script as
/////////////////////////////////
$ ./configure --with-cl-home=/cygdrive/c/program\ files/Microsoft\ Visual\ Stud
io\ .net\ 2003/vc7/bin --with-asm-home=/cygdrive/c/program\ files/Microsoft\ Vi
sual\ Studio\ .net\ 2003/vc7/bin --with-jdk-home=/cygdrive/c/program\ files/Jav
a/j2re1.4.2 --with-unzip-home=/cygdrive/c/cygwin/OOo_1.1.4_source/win32
Hmm, this will not help you compiling OOo, but can you try with:
./configure --with-cl-home="/cygdrive/c/program files/Microsoft Visual Studio .net 2003/vc7/bin" ...
I mean instead of escaping " " with a \ try quoting the complete argument with ".."
even though cl.exe was in the path I gave and I was using the option --with-cl-home. Now because of the two mistakes I did can it be a reason for this error. So do I need to remove .NET 2003 and install .net 2002 or there is some other problem. I searched all mailing lists of UCB but could not find anything which could help me.
What is UCB?
You can build OOo 2.0, see <http://development.openoffice.org/releases/OpenOffice_org_2_x.html> and <http://download.openoffice.org/680> but you nedd to get the source from cvs.
2.0 builds *require* .NET2003!

P.S.: I shamefully realized that even our OOo 2.0 build instructions are rather outdated. A few quick corrections:
* You need .NET2003, nothing else works. * You don't need ConvertDSW (wdevenv) anymore, skip it.
