 with the UNO C++ API you can Write Once, Build Anywhere

Assuming you have access to a (cross-) toolchain for that elusive Anywhere 
architecture that your potential customer uses, of course.

And, assuming you managed to keep your C++ clean enough that the Anywhere 
compiler accepts it, that you used no C++ libraries available on your own 
platform but not on Anywhere, etc.

Re: [dev] developing with Windows

2008-03-28 Thread Tor Lillqvist
 Also I am using dev-c++(gcc.)

Don't. I have never heard of any serious developer using dev-c++. Plain 
makefiles, a separate editor, possibly GNU autotools etc, yes. (But no auto* 
are involved in the OOo context.)

Unfortunately, for Windows, the only  supported compiler one can use for OOo 
work is Microsoft's. I *think* it should be possible to use the gratis 
Express edition, though. There has been work to support also gcc, I don't 
know how far that has come. That will rule, especially if it eventually means 
one can cross-build from Linux (or Solaris, or whatever).

[dev] drop configimport?

2008-03-28 Thread Stephan Bergmann
Are there any objections against dropping the configimport tool from OOo 
3.0?  It seems that its typical uses (if any) can also be achieved with 
other means (see 
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=87512), so we can 
lose some weight here.

Hi Stephan,

while I don't think you can get away with simply copying files, it's
true that there are other mechanisms to achieve config import - e.g.
the xcu fragments one can put into oxts. So, yep, sounds reasonable
to drop it.

Cheers,

Re: [dev] Import settings from OOo 2.x into OOo 3.0

 Hello,
 
 I hope this is the right list for such question.
 
 I am testing OOo DEV300_m4 and it created, quite rightly a .openoffice.org3
 directory.
 Can I just copy and across my .openoffice.org2/user directory contents or am
 I going to mess up some new settings?

The difference in th configuration of OOo 2.4 and the current DEV300
builds is neglectable.

So currently that should work. When the final OOo 3.0 version will be
released that might not work anymore but we surely will offer a user
data migration step as we did in OOo 2.0.

Ciao,
Mathias

[dev] getting started

2008-03-28 Thread Mai Ali

Dear Sir; 
I have planed a lot to participate in the development of open office, and I 
think that its now the time, but I don't know how to get started. I am a java 
developer and have good skills in C++. I think that I may help in coding help 
or code improvement. Hope that I could help, and thanks for your time.

[dev] NetBeans Tips and Tricks

2008-03-28 Thread Steffen Grund

Hello all,

I just created a wiki page for NetBeans users to publish some tips and 
tricks around programming in Java for OpenOffice.org. Here it is:


http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/NetBeans_Tips_and_Tricks

Not much content right now, but there is a useful tip around avoiding to 
type UnoRuntime.queryInterface() repeatedly.


Any feedback is welcome.

Regards, Steffen

with the *elusive* Anywhere I meant:
he says he wants to use OOo API, so I understood Cristian does not want 
to hack OOo source code, just use the API as it is done in the DevGuide 
and its Java samples. For *this* use, you can use UNO C++ API and the 
SDK tools to create a client application or an extension just like you 
do it in OOo Basic, Java, Python, etc. ; write your code, create a make 
file following the SDK make files, and you can compile using the SDK

environment anywhere the SDK is ported and working.

Unfortunately, for Windows, the only  supported compiler one can use 
for OOo work is Microsoft's. I *think* it should be possible to use

the gratis Express edition, though.


once again, assuming Cristian does not want to hack OOo source code, 
just use the API, the MS Visual C++ Express 2005 works fine with OOo, 
the new 2008 versions gives me an unsupported compiler.


Cristian, you can find an some old-dated explanation on how to set it 
here http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/SDKInstallation
specially in 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/SDKInstallation#Other_Windows_Installations_descriptions


Once again, assuming you want to use the API and the SDK, not hack OOo.
If so, I'd suggest you to join the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.


Regards
Ariel.

I think you will get more feedback posting this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] : there are more people using Java + NB OOo plug-in 
there, and most people developing extensions is not subscribed to this list.


By the way, I was able to configure NetBeans C++ Project to compile and 
debug C++ client applications on Linux; I think I may write something in 
the Wiki so that Java-NB users can give it a try at the UNO C++ bridge.


Regards
Ariel.

 and you can compile using the SDK environment anywhere the SDK is ported and 
 working.

Assuming you have access to such a machine, that is. That was my main point. 
With Java, Python or (I assume) Basic the extension you produce doesn't need to 
be rebuilt for each client platform.

 once again, assuming Cristian does not want to hack OOo source code, 
 just use the API, the MS Visual C++ Express 2005 works fine with OOo, 

Sorry, yes, I was confusing issues here.
