scons-build branch

2023-04-16 Thread Arrigo Marchiori
Dear All,

I just pushed some commits to the scons-build branch, in which I am
attempting to write _from scratch_ the SConscripts to build some
modules.

>From a ``didactical'' point of view, I thought that this way could be
better for newbies like me, to get a grasp on SCons' internals, rather
than working on Gotoscons or other automatic converters.

Moreover, I thought that some steps _have_ to be done, if we want to
get anywhere... ;-)

The only module that _seems_ to build is xml2cmp, but only under Linux
so far.

Any comments (or also just corrections) to the commits are
appreciated.

Best regards,

Compile Linux x86

2023-04-16 Thread Pedro Lino
Hi all
 
This is very a basic question for a programmer but as "developer" I could not 
find any clear documentation: how do I compile an x86 build in Linux?
 
I have managed to build an x64 Linux installer following the steps in
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
but
 
1) When compiling on a physical PC (aka metal) do I need an x86 CPU to build an 
x86 build?
 
if the answer to 1) is no then
 
2) Do I need and x86 Linux OS?
 
if not then, how do I get shell script to setup an x86 environment? I can't 
understand the instructions to create the LinuxX86Env.Set.sh script needed for 
the unxlngi6 platform...
 
Thank you in advance!
 
All the best,
Pedro
