Hi all,
I have built OOo 2.0.3 on Ubuntu, and now I want to start hacking!
However, linkoo doesn't do what it is supposed to do...
Let me explain in more detail. I changed my configuration to produce
RPMs, and these I installed using linux_install.sh into
/home/simon/ooo_prg (my source tree is in /home/simon/ooo_src).
Then I ran: solenv/bin/linkoo /home/simon/ooo_prg /home/simon/ooo_src,
and tried out "My first hack" as described in
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Hacking. However, after
building vcl and running /home/simon/ooo_prg/program/soffice, the menus
still looked perfectly normal :(
I did some more experimenting, including reinstalling from the RPM's. I
can see, *before* running linkoo, in /home/simon/ooo_prg/program, many
links with names like libfoobar.so, which point to files libfoobar.so.1
or libfoobar.so.1.1 in that same directory. My understanding is that
linkoo should replace the link libfoobar.so by one that points to the
library of that name somewhere in my source tree. But after running
linkoo these links were not changed.
However: if I replace the link libfoobar.so by the corresponding *file*
libfoobar.so, and i run linkooo, *then* this is replaced by a link that
points to the libfoobar.so in my source tree! The hack worked as
expected when I did this with libvcl*.so.
Does linkoo fail to replace a library in the installation directory if
it is already a link? What do I do to make it work correctly?
