ApacheCon Europe: Budapest, 17-21 November

2014-09-20 Thread Andrea Pescetti 
Two months to ApacheCon Europe, the official Apache conference (and 
thus, the official OpenOffice conference!).


ApacheCon will be the only occasion in Europe to meet each other in the 
coming months; an important opportunity to assess what we have 
accomplished in the two years since the previous ApacheCon (Sinsheim 
2012) and to discuss priorities for starting a new cycle.


OpenOffice will have a dedicated track, spanning two of the three 
"normal" conference days:


http://apacheconeu2014.sched.org/overview/type/openoffice

and there will be plenty of occasions for additional informal meetings 
and discussions about OpenOffice. For example, Tuesday evening looks 
perfect for an informal round table focused on the future of OpenOffice.


Looking forward to meeting you there!

Registration and information:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe/program/overview

And remember: committers are entitled to significant discounts on the 
conference fee.


Regards,
  Andrea.

Hi Regina,

Don't know how to proceed further. Please help.


I'm no professional developer. So you will get better help, when they 
follow the thread, likely Monday. Nevertheless some ideas here:


Do you have examined, whether the paths on your PC are as oowintool 
expects them? (oowintool is a perl script in directory main)


The line 236 in oowintool belongs to "sub find_msvc()". There exist a 
'for' loop over the different VC versions. The list of versions to be 
tested is directly above the loop. The attributes for each version are 
defined a few lines before. The sub combines them to an access path for 
the registry.


So please start regedit and look into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ 
whether the path oowintool uses leads to the key ProductDir and whether 
the string you read there is the correct one for your Visual C compiler.


You can use oowintool directly to show you what its get. Start Cygwin, 
change to the 'main' directory in the OpenOffice source and then call

perl oowintool --help
That lists some commands that dump you informations, e.g.
perl oowintool --msvc-ver
dumps the Version of the Microsoft compiler oowintool finds.

Kind regards
Regina

Hi,

I am stuck in a problem while building AOO. While calling configure using

I see "Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0" in your configure script. I think
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Windows 
is still valid: "As compiler we use Microsoft's Visual C++ 2008 SP1". 
That is "Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0" for me. But Oliver-Rainer 
mentioned in the thread linked below, "The Microsoft Windows SDK for 
Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 brings the compiler." So there 
might be another solution than Visual Studio.


We had a discussion in August, whether it is possible to tweak 
oowintool, see thread 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201408.mbox/ajax/%3C53FE28D6.4070205%40apache.org%3E

Yes. It depends on your interests, which of the Apache project fits to

I hope that too; we have seen too many failed migrations to FLOSS sw
because the only expectation was cutting spending.

Yes, I think this is also a key factor for a sustainable FLOSS adoption.
