the problem is that the splitting of sw into 3 libraries is essentially a hack to get better startup performance; there is not really a clean separation there; for starters there are a lot of dependencies from core code to SwDocShell which is in the sw/source/ui directory but not the "swui" library. actually the sw library links in almost 200 objects from sw/source/ui. > If swui is a proper lib on top of sw, it should either: > - be a toplevel module on its own before this can happen a lot of work has to be done to clean up this mess. the current situation makes it at least obvious that there _is_ a mess :) _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
