 It is still not clear, whether the fact, that I cannot build the

checked the build in the morning and en-US built was successful. Besides
the fact that we have some issues on newer Linux distros (we ever had)
the src package is fine.

@Regina, I still have no ideas what the problem is in your env but maybe
you can give one of the tar balls a try instead of the zip.

[#PATHANGI JANARDHANAN JATINSHRAVAN#]

I have now run build --all and got an error with the module ‘basebmp’. I ran 
build —from basebmp to check the detailed error and see the following error:

/Users/jatin1/repos/asf/openoffice/main/basebmp/test/basictest.cxx:95:5: error: 
no matching conversion for functional-style cast from 
'PaletteMemorySharedVector' (aka 'shared_ptr >') to 
'::testing::AssertionResult'
ASSERT_TRUE( pDevice->getPalette() ) << "Palette existence";
^~~~



Can someone help me on this error?

Hi Jatin

It looks like that unit test fails to compile on MacOS for some reason.
Without access to a Mac I can't tell why. You could try passing
--disable-unit-tests to ./configure to skip building unit tests, which will
also speed up your build a little, or skip only that test by editing
/Users/jatin1/repos/asf/openoffice/main/basebmp/test/makefile.mk and
changing "APP1TEST" to "disabled" (as per
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Googletest) in which case you don't have
to restart building from the beginning.

Mac currently seems to be the hardest platform to build AOO on :-(.

Good luck
Damjan

[#PATHANGI JANARDHANAN JATINSHRAVAN#]

Hi Damjan, 
Thanks for the response.

If I disable the running of unit tests, will it not be a pretty bad thing in 
case in the future I make some change to some module but can’t run the unit 
test?

Is there a way to edit the build command to specifically skip the ‘basebmp’ 
module? I couldn’t find something like that on the wiki.

If there isn’t, then I’ll skip the unit tests by editing the configure command.

Thanks
Jatin

English dictionary updates

[Andrea Pescetti]

This is mainly for Marco, but useful for the dev list too: it looks like 
we will release OpenOffice 4.1.2 later this week, and send out update 
notifications in the next few days, so would it be possible to skip 
version 2015.11.01 of the English dictionary, or upload it to the 
Extensions site a few weeks later than usual? We did it for the 4.1.1 
release too, and it worked well.


Users who upgrade to 4.1.2 will be confused if, upon starting 4.1.2, 
they are told that updates are available (for the English dictionary), 
and they might think that something went wrong in the upgrade process.


Thanks,
  Andrea.

For the record, everything worked fine. Files are now all available on 
SourceForge (in hidden, or "staged", form). Technically, this means we 
could start serving version 4.1.2 right now: it's enough to publish the

Still, there are a number of small things to do in terms of website

to see the corresponding time worldwide. This would leave us some time

Re: English dictionary updates

[Marco A.G.Pinto]

Sure, Andrea :-)

I will skip 2015.11.01 or upload it a few weeks later.

:-P

Thanks!

Extensions site a few weeks later than usual? We did it for the 4.1.1 
release too, and it worked well.


Users who upgrade to 4.1.2 will be confused if, upon starting 4.1.2, 
they are told that updates are available (for the English dictionary), 
and they might think that something went wrong in the upgrade process.


Thanks,

good that we figured out why it didn't worked with the zip but it is
strange. We can think about dropping the zip completely. Users have to
use cygwin anyway and probably have the tools in place already. I would
drop the zip src release in the future.

[orcmid]

Regina, can you explain what Windows tool you mean?

Do you mean not using the default way that Windows will open/extract a .zip 
file?


Yes. I remember that for Windows own unpack tool problems have been 
reported at OOo-times.


Do you mean that a Zip utility like WinZip or 7Zip should not be used?


Yes. I had used 7Zip and had got these strange access problems.



I assume the change you mean is where you use the Cygwin bash session and use 
tar to unpack the tar.bz2 source.  Is that correct?


Yes. I have now unpacked it inside Cygwin, using "tar xvzf 
apache-openoffice-4.1.2-r1709696-src.tar.gz"




(Or has the change not been pushed yet?)


I have put my comment into section "Source release" right after the 
command example on the Wiki page 
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#Windows_7.



I don't know, whether unpacking the zip-source inside Cygwin would work.

As both Jürgen and me could build it with the "tar.gz" source, I agree 
with Jürgen, that next time we should not provide a zip-source at all.


Kind regards
Regina

OK, 20:00 CET will work too. So we aim at releasing Wednesday 20:00 CET, or

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20151028T20=37

if people want to see it in their timezone.

In the above sentence "Releasing" means "Updating the download pages on 
http://www.openoffice.org so that they offer version 4.1.2". Other steps 
will be done before that moment, while all announcements will obviously 
be sent shortly after the update.

Remembering Ian Lynch in 4.1.2 announcement

[Andrea Pescetti]

I was wondering whether we should remember Ian Lynch at the end of the 
4.1.2 Release announcement, with a sentence like


"The OpenOffice community dedicates version 4.1.2 to the memory of Ian 
Lynch, a member of the OpenOffice Project Management Committee and a key 
contributor to marketing and education efforts, who passed away earlier 
this year" [of course please adjust and fix in case]


I have no idea on whether this is appropriate or not. I'm rather neutral 
on the issue. Feedback welcome. Our memorial for Ian is at 
http://www.apache.org/memorials/ian_lynch.html

  Andrea.
