Re: [dev] contribute
Really, though I admire Tono for his heroic effort to build OOo with gcc on Windows, it's not what I would recommend for beginners. It requires a patched version of mingw that usually only works for a limited number of OOo versions and it is even slower than the VC++ based build (that already is much slower than gcc on Linux on the same hardware). So my recommendation is: if the VC++ compiler should be avoided, avoid Windows too. And non-optimized build with GCC 3.4.6 on Linux should be faster than with GCC 4.x -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

02.07.10, 08:58, Samphan Raruenrom samp...@osdev.co.th: http://www.slideshare.net/untsamphan/o-oo-perfanalysis41 OOo users usually complain about 2 types of OOo performance problems - program-start time and open-file time. OOo developers focus on improving program-start time so it is getting better. However, open-file time is more serious for PC with low RAM, e.g. several minutes to open a few megabytes spreadsheets. For PC with low RAM (256M), Calc will have difficulties open typical spreadsheets larger than a few megabytes because Calc use memory to hold the document much less efficient than MS Office. See slide 21 for the comparison. This seems hard/impossible to improve so my typical advice to users is to add more RAM if they want to open larger files. [off-topic] Just an advice: if you're really interested in working with spreadsheets on old PCs, forget about Calc. Gnumeric is much faster, especially with low RAM and large documents.

Re: Re: [dev] CMake module for finding OpenOffice.org SDK installation
Actually, no, I disagree. As it's just a data file, we can just include it in the SDK. Actually, this script is not OOo side integration. It's intended to be included into projects using CMake, it will not work from from SDK location (as, for example, pkg-config files work). Alternatively, it could be submitted to CMake, placed in its directory it will be available without copying to project. Of course, I can provide an example of usage, but if you want to include CMake integration into SDK, it will require a bit more effort. Maybe I'll take it later. Also, I'd like to add that this file could be potentially used not only for extensions, but for any project which needs OpenOffice.org files for any purpose (but it may require some improvements in it). -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
Re: Re: Re: [dev] CMake module for finding OpenOffice.org SDK installation
Actually, this script is not OOo side integration. Wrong. It is. It is a file for loooking where OOos SDK is. Yes, but it couldn't be called OOo side integration now because it needs to be included into client's project, and it searches for OOo installations in the system, not belonging to any of it. Proper OOo side integration should include some information for CMake what files to include Err., last I looked cmake had a dir where it looked for .cmake files: Yes, but it's not fair to install files into other project's prefix :) Alternatively, it could be submitted to CMake, placed in its directory it will be available without copying to project. I don't think that's a good idea. Such stuff belongs to the project wheere it#s supposed to check for (so it can be adapted there for changes) Like stuff for the 3 SDKs won't work with = 3 SDKs. It was just an idea. Actually, CMake already contains Find modules for lots of libraries and other software.

Re: [dev] New build system
CMake - Minus The major drawback of CMake is that we couldn't find a way to do the conversion in separate steps. We had to write the CMake makefiles in parallel to the existing ones and so had to maintain two build systems for several months. Your conclusion is wrong. See add_custom_target function in manual - you can run any external build system from cmake. I even use it as configurer which founds OOo binaries and jars for ant :) As for me, major advantages of CMake are: * speed of initial configuration step, fast re-configuration because of caching; * easy setting up of build parameters through ccmake - much more convenient than those --long-keys; * more intelligent tracking of source dependencies - less files require rebuild if something changes than autotools think; * possibility of parallel build of several directories; * much faster installation - up-to-date binaries are not updated Also: * it's easy to determine operating system of build host and do custom actions for each platform (e.g., build bundle for Mac) CMake does not overcome the other inherent faults of a recursive, segmented build system that are explained in the wiki. Again wrong. You can use add_custom_dependencies for each module and configure build oreder as fine as you need We also need a solution for builds from more than one code repository. I explained that in the wiki. The one project, one workdir approach of CMake does not offer enough flexibility to make that possible without headaches. Wrong. You can add paths from underlaying dirs into CMakeLists.txt, or even use ../ to get higher... Nobody forces you to have CMakeLists.txt in every directory, and you can run external build systems for sub-directories with passing them correct parameters CMake requires tedious procedures or extra scripting to easily build single modules of OOo, something that is still important for many OOo developers. Sometimes it's true - non-trivial actions which aren't related to compilation/linking are often simplier to do from shell script. But if you choose autotools, you also have to require shell! You can run shell scripts as external program from build system though. You can run shell script for unix, or bat for Windows. -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [dev] New build system
Also, with Autotools developer needs to run autogen if something in the project/gtk headers/something else changed to re-generate configure script, or build will fail in the middle.

Re: [dev] New build system
Sorry, I didn't investigate all materials carefully. But, since CMake also uses GNU make as backend, I decided you're planning to use whole GNU build system. Yes, I know there're some large projects that use GNU make as build system, e.g. commercial quantum package Molpro. But it's the way of developing your own build system instead of using/improving existing one (I don't call GNU make itself a build system because it has too few built-in facilities comparing to CMake or autotools) That is not a migration in steps because it would require to make CMake the master build system and integrate our currently build system in it. No, it wouldn't. You can use CMake for subprojects and call it from build system with appropriate parameters.

Re: [dev] New build system
Please read the wiki article, it seems you don't know which other inherent faults I'm talking about. Recursive systems have *inherent* disadvantages and overcoming them needs to switch to a non-recursive system. This is not related to dependencies. CMake has a non-recursive element (the export to the backends), so everything that can be evaluated here (dependencies) can be done without the disadvantages of a recursive build system. But the build itself is recursive, so everything that happens at build time shows the usual disadvantages as described in the wiki. ... The goal is to have makefiles of sub units that can be combined with each other so that they produce output in the same workdir. In our GNUMake based approach all you have to do for that is include the makefiles of the parts you want to combine, whereever they reside. In CMake we couldn't find a way to achieve that without changing the CMake makefiles each time we wanted to combine them in a different way and this is unacceptable for us. In CMake you can also include other cmake sources into CMakeLists.txt, just as in GNU make -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [dev] OOo's Toolbar Icons - Saving Space
I also propose to remove star wars game from Calc to save space (or at least move it to separate package if there are lots of fans) 24.04.10, 21:31, Ivan M i2initiati...@gmail.com: Hello all, Recently I have explored one specific area where we could easily reduce the hard disk footprint of OpenOffice.org. The vast majority of reductions would be passed on to the size of the OOo installer, which makes this all the more attractive (less bandwidth costs, people download OOo quicker and they have a little more hard drive space for all their documents :P). The area in question is found in a bunch of zip files in OOo's /Basis/share/config folder. These are the toolbar icon sets that are bundled with OOo, and there are 6 of them (galaxy, high contrast, industrial, tango, crystal and classic). I have written a discussion about how OOo could be smarter with these icon sets and save space [1]. In summary, what it comes down to is: 1) Get rid of old icon sets. Industrial and Classic are two good candidates IMO. 2) Run PNGOUT [2] on all icon sets to reduce the size of each PNG file. Small reductions across many files add up substantially. 3) Reduce the duplication of images in each icon set. The high contrast icons also appear to be duplicated in the Galaxy icon set - does anyone know why? 4) Increase/decrease the compression of each icon set depending on the performance impact (i.e., we can reduce compression if it will make OOo load faster, or we can increase it if the extra memory use is inconsequential). #2 alone could save a few megabytes and would require no code modifications whatsoever. At the very, very least we should do this, and it could be done in time for OOo 3.3 (maybe even 3.2.1?) My discussion/proposal is based on what I have been able to gather by myself, so this may not actually be as simple as I believe. That's why a discussion can't just be between one person. I have had some positive responses to this on the UX and Branding list [3] and I'm hoping this email to the dev list will help make this proposal more concrete. I do have a couple of questions as well (I'm not sure who I should ask?): 1) Why do the high contrast icons appear to be duplicated in the Galaxy set AND in the high contrast icon set? 2) What happened to the icon sets between OOo 3.2 and 3.2.1? Their size decreased considerably - was this just the new ODF icons or is some kind of space saving effort underway?

Maybe you can point me to some manual which describes that part of code?

[dev] Text area in OOo Math
Where to find code that displays text description of formula in OOo Math? -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
[dev] Syntax highlighting in OO Math
Doesn't anybody work on syntax highlighting in OO Math currently? I'd like to try to use Colorer library (used, for example, in Midnight Commander) for this purpose. It's LGPL, so can be included in OOo without license problems -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [dev] drop tcsh support?
Two questions remain: For one, the to-be-sourced scripts currently ensure that USE_SHELL's path is in PATH, but I see no reason for that? For another, are there any relevant configurations where bash is not at /bin/bash? Yes, in FreeBSD it's /usr/local/bin/bash (but there's /bin/sh if POSIX shell is enough) -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [dev] OpenOffice Integration
Hi, Kirill OpenOffile under Linux can be started only if it was installed as a package. How it is possible to run OpenOffice using UNO without installing (merely copied OO to specified folder, for example)? What about having several instances of Open Office at one time in the system? Thank you very much! In case of deployment on Linux you can build a package with dependency on appropriate OOo package from distribution repositories. In this case user will not have two instances of OOo installed simultaneously -- Regards, Konstantin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Or it is simpler to realize through OOo extension? I think that Jürgen gave you the best advice: develop your own embedded object. I once developed a propotype following the SDK example, embedding JMol: inside the document I stored the pdb file, and as replacement graphic one generated by JMol from this pdb together with some JMol specific data in order to store Jmol's state. When the user activated the embedded object I opened Jmol's frame, etc. The prototype worked fine (until - I guess - the changes in OOo classpath policy) but didn't have time to play with this again. But this shows the big potential of the embedded object API. You could do something similar with JChemPaint (and of course you're free to take the Jmol idea and create two embedded object types, this may make OOo very popular among scholars) I'm C++ developer, well, both JMol and JChemPaint are Java applications, you could benefit of the Netbeans OOo API plug-in but I've never worked with OpenOffice.org API. the embedded API is rather undocumented (by documented I mean there is nothing AFAIK in the Developer's Guide), though you have the abstract API specification, and the SDK example (it's helpful but hard to follow, I remember it took me a 2 weeks winter holiday to understand this stuff) Regards Could you provide me with this code? I think this example can help me to learn OOo API - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [dev] Using OpenOffice.org for Chemistry on Linux
12.08.09, 23:30, Eike Rathke e...@sun.com: Not sure if it would suit your needs, e.g. once exported to a graphics document a formula lost its structural information, but you might want to take a look at BKChem, http://bkchem.zirael.org/ I could imagine an extension that used BKChem to feed it one of the formats it imports and let it render the graphics file. Just a quick idea.. There's also the OASA library on the same site that could provide the necessary functionality. Eike I've tried to use BKchem, but it has some disadvantages. BKchem can export to ODG, but this ODG can't be reimorted as formula. BKchem is written in Python (I don't know this language properly), also its sources are poorly commented. OASA library lacks support of ODG - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
