Re: [dev] Unable to create ODBC tables and unreadable error dialog.
Thanks Frank! see: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73636 I suppose you ran into another occurance of issue 71830, which is hopefully fixed in 2.2. In some situations (read: for some combinations of databses / drivers) OOo failed to properly send the column/size information when creating a table, and replaced all column types with some unsized VARCHAR (or otherwise defaulted). Sounds like what you describe in issue 73636. Everything in 71830 seem to be related to HSQL. Could it be valid for ODBC as well? Is not ODBC just ODBC whatever RDBMS is used? What can be different in my installation? Anything You would like me to check? If you happen to use 2.1 on Linux, you might want to try the libdba680li.so from ... I can test this on Windows XP only. Can I get a test-build from somewhere? (My only use for OOo on that machine is to test if Base is a good front end to Mimer/ODBC). Also: At the end of 71830, bedesee at Fri Jan 19 01:21:07 wrote that the problem still exists in XP. I'm not sure if the final verification really was done on Windows. /$ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] Unable to create ODBC tables and unreadable error dialog.
I haven't got any response on this in the users-list or in the issue-zilla. see: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73636 Have anyone at all tried to create tables using ODBC in Openoffice.org 2.1? It was possible in Ooo 2.0, but not in 2.1. Isn't this a very fundamental feature?

Re: [dev] Warning free code: the missing modules
2006/7/18, Stephan Bergmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
As you wrote in comment 3 to issue 66577 that gcc 4.0 generates warnings
or stuff like this
void f(com::sun::star::uno::Any const a) {
sal_Bool b;
if (a = b) {
// warning if b is used here
}
}
To me (I have no programming skills), this looks like a warning similar
to you'd better put parentheses around that expression to avoid
ambiguity (You'd better set a value for b or you may get weired
results) - but I cannot tell whether that is worth fixing or not.
It is not about parentheses but about definitive assignment of b. The
fix would be sal_Bool b = false; instead of sal_Bool b;, and IMO
that starts to touch the line between improvement and mutilation. A
later reader of the code might be puzzled why b is first assigned a
dummy value when all the uses of b are within the if block where it
definitely is assigned a value.
Ok, I'm not a C++ programmer and this is probably not the right place
to start learning.
But isn't it the left (a) side that gets assigned in a = b?
I.e. b is still not assigned and the warning is good and fixing it is
no mutilation?

Re: [dev] why making compiling OO such a secret?

What is it that makes you so hostile against people who try compiling OO? As I wrote two days ago, a simple build of the 2.0.1 tarball failed after 17 hours (resp. I don't even know if it failed, but at least it didn't run). That was with dmake in toplevel dir. Then I tried compiling it from 2.0.1 CVS (with build debug=true --all) which was even worse. First it threw error: duplicate `static` when build was called with debug=true in store/source/filelckb.cxx. Then minutes after that another problem arose while processing some file I forgot into an html and I was stuck. Then I tried ooo-build (ooo-build-src680.150.0). Not mentioning its configure doesn't understand --with-gnu-cp and --with-gnu-patch so it's hard to get it work on FreeBSD. But what stopped everything was that patching psprint_config/configuration/ppds/makefile.mk with psprint_config-no-orig.diff failed even before compilation started. Why the hell can't you produce code that at least builds?

Sorry. /$ 2006/2/3, Mathias Bauer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Matthias Benkmann wrote: I have the problem that when I launch a new OOo window with loadComponentFromURL() it doesn't always come to the front. Sometimes its button just blinks in the Windows task bar and I have to click it manually to bring it to the front. Is there a way to programmatically bring the window to the front? XTopWindow.toFront() and XWindow.setFocus() don't do the trick as they only work relative to other OOo windows not non-OOo windows. IIRC this is a feature of your operating system. If an application running in the background creates a new task window Windows XP will not bring it to front but instead lets it flash in the taskbar. The same code(!) on Windows 98 will bring the window to front IIRC. Only if the application that opens a new window is in the foreground the new window immediately comes to the front.

Most of the time this problem is just silently avoided by using a script that co's every single module instead if the alias.

And ps shows sed every time dmake hangs (and not otherwise), is there a possibility to use another implementation of sed? Which? Is the problem inside cygwin1.dll, not in sed? Is the hang reproducable? You don't have to build everything, just: $ cd extras ; rm -rf wntmsci10.pro ; build I don't think it stops on exactly the same place every time.

See http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html#BuildRequirements Btw, I doubt that a .NET2005 build will work without problems, as the corresponding cws is not yet finished/integrated. See http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/cws.ShowCWS?Id=2981Path=SRC680%2Fobo2005b I don't know the differences between the different Microsoft packages. I've got these installed (according to the control panel): Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Microsoft .NET Framework SDK (English) 1.1 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005) Microsoft Platform SDK (3790.1830) Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition - ENU Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 Ah, this is what you used with --with-cl-home=/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7 Unfortunately the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is not enough to build OOo. The compiler is fine, but MS omitted some libraries that are needed to build OOo but that are only available in the sold Standard or Professional version. See http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32040 for problems with VCTK. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition - ENU might work, but OOo itself is not ready yet to be build with a .NET 2005 :( I was missing ml.exe, but was able to find it in http://www.masm32.com/ (I hope it is legal). ml is also included in the Standard or Professional version but not in the VCTK. But the version you found should work. --with-jdk-home=/cygdrive/c/Program/Java/j2sdk1.4.2_10 --with-use-shell=tcsh --with-midl-path=/cygdrive/c/Program\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin --with-csc-path=/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322 --with-frame-home=/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft.NET/SDK/v1.1 --disable-directx --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/Program/apache-ant-1.6.5 Problems: 1 DirectX a) with --with-directx-home=/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005) I get: checking for DirectX SDK files... configure: error: DirectX SDK files not found, please use --with-directx-home or -disable-directx. Hmmm, did you follow http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html#BuildRequirements and also install DirectX 9.0 SDK Update - (? 2005) Extras? No I didn't think it was appropriate to add older Updates in the December 2005-version. There are some files in it that were needed at that time. If yes, can you please tell me where MS now put strmif.h and strmiids.lib? These are the files that configure checks to see if you have everything from DirectX SDK. I haven't downloaded anything extra for DirectX. At http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ i can not find Extras. And this is said about Symbols (I therefore did not download it (I've got XP SP2): This download contains all the symbol files for the DirectX release for Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. The Windows XP Service Pack 2 symbol files are located in the Platform SDK. I found strmiids.lib at: C:\Program\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib and strmif.h at: C:\Program\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include I should choose a better check then and really check for a DirectX related file. Earlier these files were not in the PlatformSDK. Sorry, but MS is shuffeling stuff around. b) with --disable-directx I get: checking for DirectX SDK files... cat: /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/DirectX SDK/* Doc Path: No such file or directory cygpath: can't convert empty path cygpath: can't convert empty path Hmm, looks like a bug as configure shouldn't search in the registry when --disable-directx is given ;( (can you file a bug to the tools project?) But as you have the directx SDK installed you shouldn't trip this bug. Obviously M$ changed some registry keys. Can you tell me the output of the following command: $ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/DirectX* Obviously this has to be entered in a cygwin shell. $ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/DirectX* /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/DirectX: total 0 -r--r- 1 Administratörer SYSTEM 0 Dec 18 00:24 @ -r--r- 1 Administratörer SYSTEM 2 Dec 18 00:24 Debug -r--r- 1 Administratörer SYSTEM 4 Dec 18 00:24 InstallMDX -r--r
