Hi everybody ! My name is Pierre Pasteau. I am new to OpenOffice.org, but I hope help the project.
Here are some information about my work in the project :
Configuration : Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
16/07/08: Download and get information about the project
First get the latest dev souce with cvs:
$ export CVSROOT=":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs" $ cvs -z4 co -r DEV300_m23 OpenOffice3 swext tomcat apache-commons
Begin to read and to do exercice from this page: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_ClassRoom/Previous_Logs/Introduction
Read some information about all the module in the project, here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories
17/07/08: Configuration and begin compilation
I do a little meeting in the morning, with ericb2 and chacha_chaudry (contributors).
I try to configure the software, whith this flags enabled :
$ cd DEV300_m23/config_office && ./configure --with-lang=ALL --with-dict=ALL --without-fonts --enable-libsn --with-system-zlib
--with-lang=ALL : for every language. --with-dict=ALL : dictionary for every language. --without-fonts : no Bitstream Vera police I have already it with X. --with-epm=internal : solve the rpm depends
But I have got some errors, I need to install tcsh and rpm so :
$ emerge tcsh rpm
emerge is the command of the package management system from Gentoo
ericb2 told me after that to don't have depends I must use this flags:
--with-epm=internal --with-use-shell=bash
I need to download mozilla sources and put it in moz subdir, need the file unowinreg.dll too.
$ cd moz
Missed modules hyphen and hunspell so:
$ cvs -z4 co -r DEV300_m23 hunspell hyphen
Configuration is ok, so save the line.
Now set the setup context, and do bootstrap:
$ cd .. && source linux*.sh $ ./bootstrap
The linux*.sh script set vars, alias and unset few vars.
Now try to compile:
$ dmake
But quicly :
first error whith moz : {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:8: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push' this error hapenned when i386 assembler code arrive on x86_64.
I go to the moz subdir, and modified patch with :
$ dmake patch $ dmake create_patch
But the same problem re-appear.
When try to resolv problem seen that in the Makefile x86 field is execute.
Yes, the mozilla configure detect an i686.
18/08/08 Finish to build mozilla module
After that discover a part of the problem, I go to see the configure of mozilla.
I waste some hours, so I tryed to restore the original patch with :
$ cd moz $ cvs up
And this time the build is ok (don't know why)
ericb2 told me to create archive of the module moz
$ dmake zip
So next time I will configure with --disable-build-mozilla
I create repertory work in moz and download seamonkey last version 1.1.11 in.
$ mkdir work
Read mozilla-source-1.7.5.patch for the first time, don't understand every things. Need to revise patch syntax :
+ line which will be add - line which will be delete
! block which will be replace --- ! by this block
Other line is here to indicate the place in the code
