Building AOO412 on Windows

[Patricia Shanahan]

I am trying to build AOO412 on my Windows 8.1 system. Back in the 
previous "Building on Windows" thread I described a series of failures 
that were ultimately cured by adding "--disable-pch" to my configure 
parameters.


Those problems have reappeared in the 4.1.2 build. Is there something 
different I need to do to get rid of precompiled headers for that build?

Forum log in problem, Locked out

[L P Luigi Espenlaub]

I hope some one can help me.
I have not logged in or even been to
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ucp.php?mode=login
for several months.
When I logged in the first time, I was informed:

You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts. In addition to
your username and password you now also have to solve the CAPTCHA below.

After several attempts at solving the CAPTCHA I each time received the same
message.
I tried the "Send password" option and was informed:

The e-mail/username information submitted could not be found.

So I tried re-registering and got this:

The username you entered is already in use, please select an alternative.
The entered e-mail address is already in use.

Say What!
Just did all this again so I could copy and paste the exact messages.
I've almost forgotten the question I wanted to find an answer to.
If you are the wrong person, please forward this to the right one and/or
give me the correct email address.

Yours, Thoroughly Confused,

Hello Lucretia --

The area that Alexandro directed you to may be useful to see what's been 
thought in the past in terms of UI design. But, despite the fact that we 
no longer have a dedicated UI team, we would love to hear what you have 
to say/propose in regard to usability, etc. Of course, you can download 
Apache OpenOffice at:


http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

Discussion on your ideas can be discussed here on the "dev" list. If you 
have specific ideas on something like menu changes, etc., it would be 
advantageous to use our Bug reporting system, Bugzilla, which allows for 
adding enhancements.


https://bz.apache.org/ooo/

Thank you for your interest in helping with Apache OpenOffice.

RE: Hello All

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Angelique,

You might want to subscribe to the d...@openoffice.apache.org list where 
documentation is discussed.  (Subscription requests go to 
doc-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org, sending from the email address you want to 
receive list messages at.)

There is also guidance for learning your way around Apache OpenOffice at 
.

Because you are interested in technical writing, it is necessary to have some 
domain knowledge of Apache OpenOffice.  You should have a version of the 
software and be able to fact-check and verify behaviors in material that you 
might want to improve, extend, or add.  The ability to make screen captures is 
important.  You will also need to set up accounts on two wikis that the project 
operates.

The docs@ list is the best place to dig into all of this.

 - Dennis

​AHA! Since 4.1.2, some of the download sites, especially Sourceforge, have
swithced to https, instead of http. Please check your Perl installation and
see if you have LWP::Protocol installed which supplies the https access for
LWP::UserAgent.

We need to add this to our build information as well.

ps.  I don't know what Java you're using, but I couldn't build 4.1.2 with
Java 1.8, and had to use Java 1.7 instead.

Re: Hello All

[JZA]

Hi Angelique, please let us know whta kind of experience are you looking
for, do you want to learn how to use the software, or how to contribute to
its development or anything in particular that you want to engage with.

If you need a guide to use it, I suggest looking on our documentation
project:

Hello Everybody,

My name is Angelique Killebrew. I'm a student at Jacksonville State
University. I am an English/ Political Science Major. I recently took a

practical experience. I was given the suggestion to start here possibly. If
there is something a beginner like me contribute, I would be very happy to
do so.

Thanks,
