New volunteers from Mexico

[Andrea Pescetti]

A number of new volunteers from Mexico, mostly students from the Riviera 
Maya University, joined different OpenOffice mailing lists this week.


Well, welcome to everyone of course! And I'd like to make sure that you, 
as a group, can get the most out of this project and that we can benefit 
from your availability in the most effective way.


If this is part of a course project please let us know, since in that 
case we can probably arrange specific projects for you.


Anyway, depending on what you are interested in, these are the next steps:
- if you are interested in development, please read 
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-development.html and get 
your first build done: 
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO

- if you are interested in QA, please read
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html
and write to the QA mailing list (references at the above URL) saying 
that you've read the "Orientation to QA" and that you would like to be 
assigned a set of bugs to confirm.


Please let us know when you have completed these preliminary steps, 
there are a lot of ways you can get involved!


Regards,
  Andrea.

Re: Error Building module hsqldb - Installation Source Code in AOO

[Pedro Giffuni]

FWIW;

The fix, according to the hsqldb guys is:

"One source code comments has some UTF-7 characters which cause problems.
Change the string to Knuth-Morris-Pratt to fix it"

However the file doesn't exist in the version of hsqldb that we carry:

$ file build/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/lib/
build/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/lib/: directory
$ file build/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/lib/KMPSearchAlgorithm.java
build/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/lib/KMPSearchAlgorithm.java: cannot open 
`build/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/lib/KMPSearchAlgorithm.java' (No such file or 
directory)
$

You are supposed to use the hsqldb version that AOO provides.

Pedro.

Hi all,

this is a call for vote on releasing a minor respin of Apache OpenOffice
3.4.1 to support 8 new languages (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian Bokmal,
Polish, Korean, Basque, Asturian, Scottish Gaelic). The Hungarian
version is repackaged and a Hungarian dictionary is now included.

This release is a minor update to support further languages but no bug
fixes. We decided to keep the effort minimal and updated only the new
languages and no further minor bug fixes. It is the last minor update
including "incubating" in the name and we do that to integrate smoothly
in the naming scheme of the current release and to keep the download
simple.

The source release for AOO 3.4.1 will be renewed and is based now on
revision 1435053 from branch AOO34. For our broad user base we built and
provide convenience binary packages on the same revision for all new
languages.

The source release candidate can be found under
https://cwiki.apache.org/**confluence/display/OOOUSERS/**

AOO341srcrelease

The convenience binary full install sets for the new languages can be

Please vote on releasing this respin package as a complement to our
already released Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 (incubating).

The vote starts now and will be open for 72 hours until:

 Saturday, 26 January: 2013-01-26 10:00am UTC+1.

The vote of PMC members is binding but we invite all people to vote (non

supported by the majority of our project members.

A quick weird question on this...Is this partially due to the rather old

2.2?   Among other things...I am actually trying to investigate more of the
java issues, so this is why I ask.



This particular issue is rather easy to fix by patching the weird caracters. I 
think
I will do that soon.

The java7 issues are due to the old version of hsqldb and we actually have two
options here:

1) Bring the hsqldb19 branch and update to hswldb 2.2.x.
2)  Wait for a new version of hsqldb that will be released towards the end of
month that will include backward compatibility.

OTOH, if you want to work on Java.. I have a bunch of patches that need
reviewing. Let me know :).

ha! :) OK...really I barely got started with this when I recently 
updated to java 1.7_11. Things did not work well with base after that. I 
did something that didn't help. According to messages, we seem (after my 
futzing -- I won't go into what that was at the moment...) to have a 
bunch of java calls that simply don't function...so, again, barely got

Re: Error while trying to build from svn checkout

Herbert,

Thanks, I did give that a try and it still didn't work properly. I 
decided to remove the existing copy and do a clean checkout. I am 
running into a different issue.


checking if hash_map will be in __gnu_cxx namespace... configure: error: 
Can't find hash_map. Try with --with-stlport


I get the above when running configure. This is on revision 1439200.

At some point in the past I did build successfully, I still have that 
copy running on my machine.


Any ideas?

If your build is still needing it probably means that your build was

I suggest to go into the main directory and do a "dmake clean" there 
to clean all the older build artificats. Then start anew with 
"autoconf", "configure", "bootstrap", etc.

Support for using the newer versions of hsqldb is in the Hg branch in the
older Oracle repository. Unfortuantely there was something very broken
there so we didn't import it for AOO 3.4. The code needs reviewing.

Configure can be instructed to use pre-built versions of most tools.

In FreeBSD we use something like this:
--with-system-lucene \
--with-lucene-core-jar=${JAVALIBDIR}/lucene-core-3.6.1.jar\
--with-lucene-analyzers-jar=${JAVALIBDIR}/lucene-analyzers-3.6.1.jar

However, you must make sure that you are using a version that is
compatible with the one we carry. We may have to update lucene's
support to be able to use the new versions (I opened BZ issue
121457 with some comments from the Lucene core guys about that).

Dmake is a build tool that we don't maintain in Apache and we hope to
deprecate one day..

mentioned by Kay, the current version of hsqldb is quite old. The latest 
is 2.2.9 and the same goes for Lucene the included version is 2.x 
whereas the latest is 4.1. How come the jar is being created as part of 
the build process instead of just pulling a prebuild version?


On a similar note, I had an additional issue with the build complaining 
about the dmake that is pull down by bootstrap being an invalid bzip2 
file, not sure if other people ran into the same issue. I had another 
copy of dmake on my machine and I just applied it to get pass the issue. 
All of these were done from a fresh checkout from SVN.

My guess is that you are using a localized (non-english) environment, but
JDK7 is also a know source of problems ih hsqldb.

Hope that helps,

A quick weird question on this...Is this partially due to the rather old
version of HSQLD we package -- 1.8? (in ext_sources)-- as opposed to newer
2.2?   Among other things...I am actually trying to investigate more of the
java issues, so this is why I ask.

 Hi all,

 this is a call for vote on releasing a minor respin of Apache OpenOffice
 3.4.1 to support 8 new languages (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian Bokmal,
 Polish, Korean, Basque, Asturian, Scottish Gaelic). The Hungarian
 version is repackaged and a Hungarian dictionary is now included.

 This release is a minor update to support further languages but no bug
 fixes. We decided to keep the effort minimal and updated only the new
 languages and no further minor bug fixes. It is the last minor update
 including "incubating" in the name and we do that to integrate smoothly
 in the naming scheme of the current release and to keep the download
 simple.

 The source release for AOO 3.4.1 will be renewed and is based now on
 revision 1435053 from branch AOO34. For our broad user base we built and
 provide convenience binary packages on the same revision for all new
 languages.

 The source release candidate can be found under

Strange. Did configure exit without error code?
If configure exits without error code, it will invoke set_soenv, and
this will create bootstrap from bootstrap.in:

./configure -> set_soenv.in -> set_soenv -> bootstrap.in -> bootstrap

Make sure  that $SRC/main/ has set_soenv.in and bootstrap.in, that
./configure exits without error, and that after running ./configure
there is a $SRC/main/bootstrap file

problem in building AOO

[Hrishit Patel]

hi,

I've just join the project.

I started building my own AOO and stuck with following problem:

When I execute  "./bootstrap" it shows error "command not found".
I manually checked and found that there is no such file in "AOO/main/".
But there is some file with name "bootstrap.1".
And there is a file with path as "AOO/main/sal/test/bootstrap".

I am attaching both the files here, if anyone can look at it and guide me
further.

thanks & cheers,
hrishit

For 5-6-7-8-9-10-11, Subversion is a revision control tool, like CVS or 
Git. You don't need anything special other than the "subversion" package 
(the "svn" executable) you already installed. During the workflow you 
will need two commands only (to be excuted in "aoo", if your checkout 
was done in a directory named "aoo", like you state above):

$ svn up
will bring your working copy up-to-date, so that you can receive the 
work done by others in the meantime (this is why we use SVN).

$ svn diff
will show you what changed in your working copy. If you work on the 
code, "svn diff" is what you will use to propose changes.

It was mainly ODF-documents created in MS Office.  It was a sizable
set of test docs.  They made it available for use during the Plugfest
but also said the documents might be made available to a more general
test collection if other companies made their test documents availalbe
as well.

They are not hand hacked xml but where created specifically for testing the 
respective function by testers employed by Nokia. They where done originally 
for the document viewer application in the Nokia N900 and then later extended 
for the viewer in the Nokia N9.

Must have been one that I didn't attend.  :/  It would be interesting to see 
those documents.

The most "interessting" one we have is created by MS Office.  It's valid ODT 
but not structured the same way as LO/AOO normally does it.  We had to work a 
lot to make that render correctly.  :)

Or just continue with the KDE repository? Check out:

Getting a KDE commit account is much easier than an Apache one.

Thx, corrected...we badly need the tools that can check all these typos.

@Juergen: sorry for the double typo.

Never do something with just a half hand, I was (and am) busy getting a
raid to work again (all my source changes are hidden in there).

have a nice day

Hi Keith,

sounds perfect and we appreciate your interest and help. Alan gave you
already some links to get started build OpenOffice on your own. Please
feel free to ask any kind of question here on the list to get more help.

And don't be shy you can't ask wrong question, it's a beast of software
with a long history. The code base is huge and there are a lot of room
for improvements in existing code to get started, to fix bugs or even
more fun get involved in implementing new features over time.

Welcome at Apache OpenOffice

the dll is necessary for UNO client programs in Java. And to make them
working on all platforms they require this dll. We want support the
development of such clients on all platforms as well and provide a
pre-built version of this dll. You can get it as pre-requiste

wget -O main/external/unowinreg/unowinreg.dll
http://tools.openoffice.org/unowinreg_prebuild/680/unowinreg.dll

And of course it is only necessary when you build the SDK.
