Re: [dev] How can I build source code using VS 2008
this is a very good entry point: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows And if the original poster wanted to build inside Visual Studio (in its IDE), that is not possible. (It works fine to debug in the VS IDE, though.) --tml - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Considerable recent work has made this easier, for the benefit of extensions. So you've got to rewrite every single line of VBA code. * Extensions You may want to investigate packaging your software as an extension.

To some extent, the API tries to bridge this gap. StarBasic is strictly procedural while talking to a 100% object oriented API (and only that particular API). It has bugs, some of them severe. It is slow. It comes with a tiny set of runtime functions. * Further reading I commend to your attention the wiki page of the Documentation Project: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation Small snippets of that documentation (corrections) are written by me. where you will find links to the Developer's Guide and the Basic Programmer's Guide.

It will run out some day or rewritten entirely but never converted to some other spreadsheet application. Now it runs for every single client. A rewrite for OOo gives how many additional clients? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
