[dev] Be a member of the openoffice project
Hello, My name is Aitor Matilla and I'm from Barcelona (Spain) I've been an openoffice user for years and now, I would like to be involved in the openoffice project. I'm a software engineer with more than 7 years of experience, most of them with C++. Any information to help me to start would be great. Thank you. Aitor
Re: [dev] Be a member of the openoffice project
Hi Aitor, welcome on board. I would suggest that you start thinking in which area you would like to help (e.g. writer, calc, impress, ...) and then i would go on the project mailing list and would ask there directly. Or you can check the todo lists of the projects to find something where you are interested. General Information about participating in the project can be found under http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/I_want_to_be_an_OpenOffice.org_developer http://contributing.openoffice.org/ If you don't find the right place please feel free to come back to this list and ask again.

[dev] Compiling DEV300_m18 under Linux
Hi, I'm compiling DEV300_m18 with CWS tl55 (for testing LanguageTool grammar checker extension) under Suse 10.2. Now, it compiles fine, installs fine, but all apps - except for the starting page - have no menus nor toolbars, so they are not usable. I haven't found a single message with error saying that some files are missing or something like that - and registry files with UI elements seem to be where they should be. Does the error sound familiar? Any idea what I might be missing? (The same set compiles fine under WinXP + Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition). I tried to Google the answer but to no avail. Thanks in advance for any pointers! Marcin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[dev] building and using cairo
Hi All, The new external module cairo recently included in OOo source tree. I wanted to build and use it in Windows .NET 2008 Express environment as a referece for MinGW porting. However, BUILD_CAIRO environment variable is not handled by config_office/configure. And even if I add it by hand, the build fails. Is it still experimental or shall I raise an issue? I somehow completed the MinGW port and used it in canvas/source/cairo but again I face a problem and I suspect it is also a problem for MSVC ...

And even if I add it by hand, the build fails. a variable named BUILD_CAIRO sounds 99.9% the wrong way to do it, cairo should be in BUILD_TYPE and stuff needing it appropriately conditionalized. Of course, if you need special handling then for internal cairo/external cairo, follow the rest and use SYSTEM_CAIRO. Is it still experimental or shall I raise an issue? Please raise an issue and assign it to whoever added the not-working cairo module. Regards, Rene - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] building and using cairo
The new external module cairo recently included in OOo source tree. I wanted to build and use it in Windows .NET 2008 Express environment as a referece for MinGW porting. Using cairo on Windows is more or less pointless now in my opinion, as the DirectX canvas is included and built by default. They should be closely equivalent qualitywise. The DirectX canvas uses much less CPU as it takes advantage of hardware acceleration. I did some tests back when we used to have the cairo canvas built also on Windows, and for a particular presentation some effects took 100% of one CPU when using the cairo canvas, and only some 10% when using the DirectX one. --tml - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, yeah, the whole internal cairo thing is work-in-progress in CWS cairosource01, please use that one for experiments.

Do you happen to have old user installation data laying around? I've created a new user account for compiling and installing OOo, so there might be only some system-wide installation data. I deleted .openoffice.org3 and .ooo2 directories on another account used for testing but it didn't help much (it asks for user name, offers registration so it doesn't seem to see old config data). Seems my build is broken badly somewhere... Regards, Marcin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] .odt Files Print From UI, Not From API Using Java
I have a client who is using OOo 2.0 on Winodws XP as part of a Java program
I've written. I'd like to upgrade, but since my software has to install my
program and OOo -- and know where OOo is being installed to, it's quite
difficult to upgrade my software every time OOo upgrades. In other words,
using a later version is not a desirable solution, since it takes me a day
or two whenever I have to use the new OOo installer and make sure
everything works on both Linux and Windows.
When she runs my program on her computer, it generates a number of .odt
or .sxw files. Once generated these files could sit for a while or could
be used immediately for printing. In this case, it turns out that when we
generate .sxw files, they're printing just fine, but any .odt files are not
printing -- they show up as blank sheets of paper. (In call cases the
files are only 1 page long so I have no way of checking the length of the
documents when they print.) As if that weren't odd enough, if she runs OOo
and uses the GUI and loads them on her own and then prints them, they print
fine!
In other words, when I load files through the Java API, if they're .sxw they
print, if they're .odt, a blank page prints instead, but loading any of the
files through the GUI allows them to print fine.
This version of my program has worked on other XP systems previously. I'd
test it myself, but my XP system is temporarily down and likely won't be up
until I can transfer data from the other partitions and put in a new hard
drive.
I've included my Java code to open and print the OOo files below.
I'm hoping someone will recognize this as something simple that I'm
overlooking or that there's an issue or bug that I just haven't been able
to find. Whatever it is, any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Hal
