Re: Building gides

2020-02-16 Thread Peter Kovacs

Hi ,


A step I often forget is the use of autoconf


 * Make sure that you are in the main source directory:

   cd $SourceMain

 * Run autoconf to create the configure script:

   autoconf

Call configure


But it is difficult to help because you do not write which file is 
missing or which command you typed.


We could help better if you always add these kind of information. ;)

The Installtion of the DEBS is ok. It is only one line for unpacking the
*.tar.gz and then

dpkg -i *.deb

in the unpacked directory with all debs

Just for the record, off the top of my head...

For testing we should just build the so-called "installed" package (you 
just unzip the tree and you are done).


I think I saw, ages ago, a graphical installer for Linux, written in 
Java; none of our current builds uses that approach (and honestly this 
seems a bit out of place in the Linux world) but the code might still be 
there. We are surely talking about OpenOffice 3.x if not even 2.x.


And yes, I would also consider a unified Linux version if they didn't 
invent a new "unified" way of doing Linux packages every year... But one 
of AppImage, Flatpak or Snap should be tried sooner or later, probably 
in this order. This is to be discussed separately anyway.

  Andrea.

I am also not a developer... ;-)

A snap would be perfect! I suggested that long ago but I certainly don't
have the time.
At least I tried and built my first "Hello World" snap at Ubucon Europe

 Pedro didn't think of Pootle being synchronized with the branch.
 He wanted to know if the translations are already exported back to the

Hi,

That might be a good long term objective. The step-by-step instructions, 
if they worked, could serve as the specification for the script.


We would still need the instructions for people who are not using a VM, 
and have some software already installed. For example, even on a machine 
I had never used to build AOO, I had Cygwin with Perl.


The immediate survival issue is that we need a set of instructions that 
can be carried out. Without that, we cannot recruit programmers. I am 
currently at a place in the instructions that tells me to install a 
piece of software from a URL that tells me it is not available. A script 
would be just as stuck at exactly the same place.


(Note: I am stubbornly pretending to be a new volunteer, or a script, 
trying to apply the instructions in order to do my first AOO build.)





With the help of chocolatey we could install cygwin per script. And then add 
the other Programms as needed.
Just a crazy idea.

All the best

The "general" had a lot of conditionals.

I think it could be made easier to use if one could just start from

This one I am not going to attempt myself because changes could affect
other platforms that I am not using.



2. There is no /cygdrive/c/temp. /usr/tmp is a temporary directory.

/"(or any other temporary directory of your choice)"/


The fix is to change it to "/usr/tmp (or other temporary directory of
your choice)", though I am not sure why one would need an alternative
to
/usr/tmp.



3. Command "lynx -source
rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg > apt-cyg" failed
because I had not been told to install lynx.


I have never understood or used these instructions regarding lynx.


Let's get rid of them. The closer we can get to one set of instructions

that work the better. Cygwin's setup automatically installs
dependencies, and is the normal way of installing Cygwin packages. One
would need to use it to get lynx anyway.





Unclear how much can be omitted in this area if the required

packages,

and their dependencies, have already been installed through the

Cygwin

setup program, as will be the case if following the instructions. It



is really necessary to provide an alternative?

4. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3138 gets



an error page "We're sorry, this download is no longer available."

At this point, I am officially stuck.


As anyone else is, Microsoft has pulled that download long ago.

(As you may remember, we wrote about that and I sent you a Dropbox

link

where you can download it from)


Yes, but I am modeling a new recruit trying to build AOO for the first
time, using the latest instructions, on a machine that has not
previously been used to build it. I really am using a computer I got
after the last time I built AOO, and I am being very careful to follow
the instructions as written, ignoring prior experience. My objective is

as much to test the build instructions and get them fixed as to do the
build.

Do we understand why AOO building still requires an obsolete MSVC? Any
way to fix it? This seems to me to be a particularly urgent build
problem.

Perhaps the best we can do here for now is to say "If you get to this
point and do not already have Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and
.NET Framework 3.5. SP1, send mail to dev@openoffice.apache.org to get
your secret decoder ring."

Hi all,

First let me thank Mechtilde for the tremendous job she is doing!

I still remember the day (OpenRheinRuhr 2018?) when I complained about
the broken translation process and she instantly took over. Since then a
lot of things have been accomplished.

Now we are able to create language templates from source code, import
them into Pootle, update the translations, export them back to SDF and
commit them.

In parallel we have "recruited" a handful of translators (Amharic,
Kabyle, Oromo, Estonian, Latvian) so we hope to release AOO 4.2.0 with
these new localizations [1].

To be clear, the plan is to automate the translation process on the
Pootle server, so that once a week (?) the most recent translations are
exported and committed to Git.

But all this is done in our spare time and we all have a personal life,
so please be patient (or join the team)!

(Sorry for this being a bit Off Topic now...)
