More on "tools" module; on FreeBSD

Maho NAKATA — 2011-01-16T03:11:03

Hi Bjoern,

After I fixed following issue:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=116477
still FreeBSD build has been broken like following:


I tried by:
# source FreeBSDX86Env.Set.sh ; cd tools/prj/ ; dmake
and obtained following error;

-Wl,-z,noexecstack hack removed for Linux and FreeBSD

Stephan Bergmann — 2010-06-22T07:31:56

The fix for <http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=110197> 
"solenv: remove -Wl,-z,noexecstack hack," on CWS sb126 targeting OOo 
3.4, removes from the OOo code base virtually all mentions of 
noexecstack (see issue for details).  Most mentions were in Linux-only 
code (where the need for the hack was probably only motivated by the old 
Sun Hamburg tool chain, and so the hack is no longer needed after the 
recent upgrade of that tool chain).

But some mentions were in code relevant for Linux and FreeBSD.  I assume 
that this was by accident rather than by design, and the 
-Wl,-z,noexecstack was never really necessary on FreeBSD (and it was 
just lumped together with other pieces of code that actually are 
relevant on both platforms).

Let me know if this change causes any problems,

-Stephan

Porting of new build environment prototype

Mathias Bauer — 2010-06-03T10:43:39

Hi,

as you might have heard, we are working on a new build system based on 
GNU Make. We have started with a few modules and now are able to build 
them on Linux Intel (32 and 64 Bit), Windows, Solaris (Intel+Sparc) and 
MacOSX Intel. Now we want to work together will all active porters to 
support their ports with our new build system also.

I am writing to you as you are either known to work on an OOo port that 
we don't build in Hamburg or you might know who works on such ports.

To my knowledge Nakata Maho works on the FreeBSD and Mac PPC builds, 
Caolan is listed for several Linux ports on the porting web site. Yuri 
Dario is listed for an OS/2 port. I couldn't find anyone listed for the 
mingw port. So it would be nice if we could verify this information, add 
missing porters and also missing ports we should take care for.

We would like to start using our new build systems for parts of OOo in 
the near future. The question is: which ports must be supported then 
from start (as they are built regulari

MacOSX libxml2/libxslt sdk versions ?

Caolán McNamara — 2010-02-02T20:12:46

I was considering bumping our libxmlsec to the latest version of that
(1.2.14). But libxmlsec requires a libxml2 >= 2.7.6. Bumping our
internal versions to the latest libxml2 and libxslt isn't a problem in
itself, and probably a good thing to do. 

But I see that our Mac OSX config defaults to system libxml2 and I can
tell from the buildbots that the MacOSX libxml2 is of a lower level than
2.7.6. From the previous discussion around curl I imagine that the
system libxml2 on Mac that OOo uses by default comes from the Mac 10.4
SDK right ? And that a goal is to try and keep Mac's requirements to the
Mac SDK 10.4 baseline. So, is there a list of the versions of libraries
in that SDK ? 

C.

new curl version

Tobias Krause — 2010-01-25T10:58:52

Hi all,

I'd like to upgrade our baseline regarding curl in OOo 3.3 for all 
platforms except MacOS. Currently, we are using curl 7.12.2. The most 
recent stable version of curl is 7.19.7 which I want to use. On MacOS we 
are using curl 7.19.1 which remains constant.

Any objections?

Regards
Tobias

--disable-epm

Stephan Bergmann — 2010-01-07T13:26:40

Is anybody using the OOo configure option --disable-epm?  If yes, to 
achieve exactly what?  To build no installation sets in insetsetoo_native?

I'm asking because of the following:  To clean up OOo's built-in testing 
(see <http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=26189>), 
I intent to always build in instsetoo_native an openoffice_en-US in 
archive format (in addition to whatever other formats specified by 
PKGFORMAT), so that tests that require an OOo installation (like 
smoketestoo_native) have one available easily.  If there are scenarios 
where no installation sets at all are built in instsetoo_native, I would 
have to address that adequately.

MySQL Connector/OOo to be integrated into main trunk

Frank Schoenheit, Sun Microsystems Germany — 2009-12-15T09:00:28

Hi,

MySQL Connector/OOo [1], the database driver for OpenOffice.org for
connecting to a MySQL server without JDBC/ODBC, is going to be
integrated into the main trunk. (It previously had been released from a
CWS only.)

This happens in CWS mysqlconnector, probably going to "ready for QA" in
the next few days.

The driver compiles on the usual Sun-provided platforms, if you
need/have patches for making the CWS compile on your favorite platform,
you're welcome to contribute them to the CWS.

If you maintain an OpenOffice.org flavor for a Linux distribution, you
might be interested in knowing that configure learned the switches
"--enable-mysql-connector", "--with-system-mysql",
"--with-system-mysqlcppconn", "--with-libmysql-path", to customize
building the connector and its pre-requisites to your needs.

Ciao
Frank

IRIX still relevant?

Stephan Bergmann — 2009-11-11T10:03:46

Caolàn just filed me 
<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=106774> "sal: irix code 
writes past end of buffer" which made me wonder whether there is an 
active IRIX port at all, or whether the better fix for that issue would 
not be to rather remove all traces of IRIX from the code base.

<http://porting.openoffice.org/> lists IRIX as a regular port, but 
<http://porting.openoffice.org/irix/index.html> seems rather dated (it 
offers a download of OOo 1.0.3, and "was last updated on May 7th, [...] 
2003").

Opinions, anyone?

MinGW port build guide

Takashi Ono — 2009-09-27T00:50:24

Hi all,

OOo is now can be built with MinGW compiler and I wish build guide for it can be added 
to OOo-Wiki.

I have already made a draft by copying existing Windows build guide and edited it with 
OOo-writer(web) as I am not accustomed to MediaWiki nor Wiki updating.

I would like to get experts' comment how should I proceed. Is it OK to disclose my 
draft calling for comment, from Licensing point of view?

Best Regards,

Takashi Ono (tono< at >openoffice.org)

reminder: m60 switches to a new boost version

Frank Schoenheit, Sun Microsystems Germany — 2009-09-23T09:28:40

Hi,

as discussed a while ago in dev< at >ooo, CWS boost134 introduced a recent
boost version (1.39) into the OOo build. If you're building with
system-boost, 1.38 is required, at least.

new nss module

Joachim Lingner - Sun Germany Software Engineer - ham02 - Hamburg — 2009-08-27T12:44:41

Hi all,

As of DEV300m57 there will be a module named 'nss', which builds, as the 
name suggests, the mozilla nss libraries. These libraries are more 
recent (v 3.12.3) then those which are built in the moz module. nss will 
be build by default and the libraries and headers replace those from moz.

nss was tested with the major platforms:

Windows, Windows MinGW, Solaris x86, Solaris Sparc, Linux, Linux x86_64, 
Mac (x86).

Developers are welcome to make nss work on other platforms too. As long 
as nss does not work on those platforms one can disable it by the 
configure switch --disable-nss-module.

See also the new build requirements at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Build_Requirements

Joachim

OpenOffice on NintendoDS

David Lopez — 2009-08-27T00:13:26

Hello.

I am a Open Office user since many years ago, as well as a NintendoDS since more or less one year ago.

I thought wether could it be interesting to start developing a new port for NintendoDS? Or maybe is it needless since you can install linux on it and open office on linux?

Please, I would like you to help me with these questions, and, if you think it is a good idea, I would like to start developing a new port for NintendoDS, although this would be something new to me, as I have never been on an Open Source Development project before. However, I am a Computing Engineer and think it should not be hard to me to get acquainted with working methods and language.

Best regards.

Moving to bost 1.3?

Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany — 2009-08-18T20:56:34

Hi,

Currently, OOo uses boost 1.34.1 for platforms with a GCC >=4, and boost
1.30.2 + a separated spirit 1.6.1 for all other platforms (see
boost/download in the source tree).

For various reasons, we'd like to clean up this mess, and move to a
single version (containing spirit).

This could be boost 1.34.1, but given that this version is pretty old
already, we'd prefer a recent version - boost 1.39.0, that is.

The work for this is ongoing in CWS boost134. In this CWS, a move to
1.39 has been done, and it compiles on the standard build platforms
provided by Sun HH: Solaris Intel/Sparc, Linux 32/64, Mac OS X, Windows.

We invite everybody porting OOo to another platform to give feedback to
this project. As rumor has it, boost 1.39 creates problems when used on
some platforms (either at compile- or runtime), so if your platform is
know to be one of those, or if you just want to be sure - please give
the CWS a try.

If boost 1.39 proves to be too problematic, an option would be to indeed
stay with 1.34 (on al
