Bug ID: 149249
Summary: Ship LibreOfficeKit headers and library files with the
LibreOffice community packages
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: sdk
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: hoss...@libreoffice.org
With LibreOfficeKit (LOK), it is possible to create C++ applications that can
access LibreOffice functionality.
Documentation for LibreOfficeKit module:
https://docs.libreoffice.org/libreofficekit.html
As there are few dependencies for creating applications with LOK, it would be
beneficial to have LibreOfficeKit headers and pre-built library files shipped
with the SDK. In this way, one can build LOK C++ apps without building
LibreOffice, and just by installing SDK and build tools.
These are the header files for LibreOfficeKit:
LibreOfficeKit/LibreOfficeKitEnums.h \
LibreOfficeKit/LibreOfficeKit.h \
LibreOfficeKit/LibreOfficeKitInit.h \
LibreOfficeKit/LibreOfficeKitGtk.h \
LibreOfficeKit/LibreOfficeKit.hxx \
LibreOfficeKit/LibreOfficeKitTypes.h \
Although Debian and Ubuntu provide the above headers in the libreofficekit-dev
packages, these headers are not shipped with the LibreOffice community
packages:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/all/libreofficekit-dev/filelist
https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/amd64/libreofficekit-dev/filelist
$ dpkg -S LibreOfficeKit.hxx
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern *LibreOfficeKit*
$ dpkg -S liblibreofficekitgtk.so
libobasis7.3-core: /opt/libreoffice7.3/program/liblibreofficekitgtk.so
I think it would be better to ship both the headers and library files in the
SDK or a separate package.
$ dpkg -L libobasis7.3-libreofficekit-data
/.
/opt
/opt/libreoffice7.3
/opt/libreoffice7.3/share
/opt/libreoffice7.3/share/libreofficekit
/opt/libreoffice7.3/share/libreofficekit/handle_image_end.png
/opt/libreoffice7.3/share/libreofficekit/handle_image_middle.png
/opt/libreoffice7.3/share/libreofficekit/handle_image_start.png
On Windows, both headers and library files are missing from an installation of
LibreOffice plus SDK.
