ODF is the the only relevant "free and open" feature. Any of your
programs can generate perfectly valid office documents with a similar
feature set as in MS Office, usable with many different applications.
Translating a typical "VBA solution" to something equivalent in
Basic/Python/Java requires far more effort than writing the original VBA
leading from one vendor lock-in to another one. The whole programming
logic depends on one particular office application.
The infamous "VBA compatibility mode" covers some trivial methods and
properties but you can not be sure that your VBA does exactly the same
thing in this app as it used to do in the other app. It does not support
anything more sophisticated, no user interface elements, no complex
method calls (spreadsheet: sort, filter, conditional formatting,
validation, charts, pivots,...).
Bugs anyone?
print cDbl("1.234"), cDbl("1,234")
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65555 (so easy to
confuse this interpreter using simple variants).
The absence of class modules makes Basic perfectly incompatible with
slightly advanced "VBA solutions".
StarBasic is a simplistic embeddable facility for batches of API calls.
The runtime functions hardly invites anyone to write a program logic
(arrays anyone? hashes/dictionaries? string replacements? format? regex?
abandon all hope).

I tried to load the documents with OpenOffice, this works fine, but the
layout was not like the original sdw-Files and the pdf-export in early
OpenOffice-Versions is not so good as needed.

I will try this approach, thank you for the tipp.

Can you tell me if the command promt call of a macro works or not?
"soffice3.exe macro:///lib.module.macro1"

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards
Markus

Re: com.sun.star.packages.zip.ZipIOException

2009-12-10T09:15:03Z

Hi Michele,

another possibility is that the file is OK, but you use the package
format instead of zip-format. The package format requires
META-INF/manifest.xml to be in the package, it is a part of the package
format.

To create ZipPackage that supports zip-format, please try to provide the
following argument during initialization
aNamedValue.Name = "PackageFormat"
aNamedValue.Value = false

That should let the package handle the file as a plain zip format file.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Mikhail.

I don't think so, at least not if you want to avoid illegal copies.
Besides that, AFAIR there was no PDF export in SO3, so all you can do
with it is converting the documents into SO5 binary format.

This can be done in batch processing using the built-in document
converter. Then you can use OOo1.x to load the SO5 documents and export
to PDF. OOo1.x is the closest match for the SO binary format.

Perhaps you can find an SO5 copy somewhere (as this was available as a
free download at some point in time) and - if you are lucky - this
version handles your SO3 documents properly.

Regards,
Mathias

StarOffice3.1 executing macros from the command line

2009-12-09T08:34:59Z

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

this is not really an OpenOffice-Issue but I am running out of ideas...

I am trying to convert old StarOffice3.1 Documents in PDFs.

I cannot use OpenOffice because the formatting of the documents will be
destroid (tested with OpenOffice 1.0.3).

With OpenOffice I called a macro from the commandline like (all on Windows)
soffice.exe macro:///lib.module.macro1
this works fine but
soffice3.exe macro:///lib.module.macro1 with StarOffice3.1 doesn't work

I tried a lot of possibilities nothing works.
It looks like StarOffice3 was not able to execute macros from the
commandline.
Is this true?

Is a install version of StarOffice3.1 somewhere available?

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards.

Markus

Hi true801,

don't trust the help development documentation, most of it is outdated.
Sorry we had no time to update the docs.

The visibility attribute works only within <ahelp hid="."
visibility="hidden">...help text...</ahelp> to hide extended help text
from being visible on the normal help pages.

In <ahelp>...</ahelp> text, only plain text is allowed. No formatting,
even no line breaks. No variables, no links. Please submit a request for
enhancement if you need more formatting features.

Regards
Uwe

Using mutexes

2009-12-09T07:24:39Z

Hi

I need a mutex to protect a section of code of a non-member function from
concurrent execution. Do I have to use use osl::Mutex::getGlobalMutex(), or
do I have to create a global mutex ? Is it possible to create global mutexes,
and if so, why use osl::Mutex::getGlobalMutex() instead of creating a
special-purpose global mutex ?

Thanks

Re: Building OOo Installation Set containing vcredist_x86.exe

2009-12-09T06:00:57Z

Hi,

sorry for the late answer but different things prevented me from
continuing with my OOo build experiments. So first of all I would like
to thank you all again for your help so far.

Sadly I couldn't really solve my problem with the information you
provided. I checked and the CVER environment variable is indeed set to
"M1500", so there shouldn't be a problem. Looking at the log files
after the build I can also see that some stuff happens with the merge
modules Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm and
policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm. I can't say that I fully
understand how it's supposed to work with these merge modules but I
can see a lot of lines indicating "success" in regards to the above
mentioned merge modules in the log file and nothing that seems to
indicate that something went wrong. Also, after the build, when
looking inside the instsetoo_native folder I find the folders
wntmsci12.pro\OpenOffice\msi\mergefiles\en-US\gid_Mergemodule_Microsoft_Vc90_Crt_X86
and wntmsci12.pro\OpenOffice\msi\mergefiles\en-US\gid_Mergemodule_Policy_Microsoft_Vc90_Crt_X86
containing a lot of stuff which also to me seems to indicate that at
least _something_ happened with these merge modules. So the problem is
probably not that the merge modules weren't found or the build didn't
do anything with them. Again, I don't fully understand how it's
supposed to work, though.

Also, looking at the contents of
instsetoo_native\wntmsci12.pro\OpenOffice\msi\install\en-US\openofficeorg1.cab
I see it contains the following files:
msvcm90.dll.30729.01.Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.SP.D8D85FD0_537C_3A3A_9BEC_7A1B426637EC
msvcp90.dll.30729.01.Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.SP.D8D85FD0_537C_3A3A_9BEC_7A1B426637EC
msvcr90.dll.30729.01.Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.SP.D8D85FD0_537C_3A3A_9BEC_7A1B426637EC

So in some form the dlls I'm missing when using my installation set
_are_ contained in it. They just aren't installed when I execute the
installer.

I really don't know where to go from here. If someone could point me
in the right direction where the problem could possibly be that would
be a great help. Maybe something I can look for in the log files?
When comparing my openofficeorg1.cab to one of an installation set
downloaded from openoffice.org I noticed that the version of my
msvc*90.dll files is greater than the one packaged there. That's
probably because I used the merge modules from MS Visual C++ 2008
Express with Service Pack 1. Could the version of Visual C++ 2008
Express I use be a cause of my problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Daniel

The file is a .zip but gunzip can handle them with the -S switch. I
used it also to test the archive and I got OK, this is why I wrote
about my surprise on how strict the check OOo makes is.
OTOH I am probably misusing the package service which is intended for
odf documents so I will stop using it even if it was rather
convenient.

As I wrote the files I am working with are publicly available you can
download some samples here:
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_sa/TSG_SA/TSGS_46/Docs/

Thanks again for the clarifications,

Cheers,

Michele

It could be that the repairing mechanics should be improved. But you
have mentioned gunzip, is the archive in gzip format? In this case the
office can not handle it at all, since only zip-format is supported.

OOo is working with user documents and so it should strictly check that
the document is consistent. Any inconsistency could mean data-loss or
manipulation. Thus the office has to detect and report such cases.

Mikhail.

As an aside:

--disable-pasf, --without-nas, --disable-mediawiki, --disable-headless
don't exist as configure options (anymore) so those aren't actually
doing anything

--disable-build-mozilla says to build like Hamburg against a pre-built

--disable-mozilla on its own would be sufficient.

How to Identify Bookmark field exists at current cursor position.

Hi,

In my add-in, I want to stop user to update bookmark text so that I need to know whether current position is under bookmark or not?

Can you suggest me the way how to identify bookmark field at current cursor position.

Setting -isysroot explicitly to always build against the 10.4 SDK got
introduced into the OOo build environment rather recently (don't have
the relevant issue number at hand right now, though); of course, this is
somewhat unfortunate for 10.6, where the 10.4 SDK is only an optional
install with Xcode...

> ps: building with gcc 4.2 complained about no support for -Wno-long-double

Yep, forgot about that one. I started a thread on
mac@... ("Building OOo on Snow Leopard", ca. end of
September 09) a while ago where I documented my first approach at
building OOo on 10.6. Never came to a functional solution, though, and
more or less gave up on this "hobby project" of mine by now. (But other
people report that they can build fine, with the optional 10.4 SDK
installed, using GCC 4.0, and applying the patches from the issue that
got mentioned here, too.)

changing isysmaker in solenv/inc/unxmacx.mk as well as configuring with
./configure ... CC=gcc-4.0 CXX=g++-4.0 gets the build going :-)

Not sure if my system is messed up or there are bugs in the

yes, deleting -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk manually
compiles the file

no, I don't, I only have

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/

so I guess it is therefore looking in the wrong place.

Do you know where isysroot comes from and how to change it? Google did
not really help and it is also not inside MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh.

Do you have the optional Xcode 10.4 SDK support
(/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk) installed (I'm not sure configure
explicitly checks for it)? Otherwise, the -isysroot setting could
explain your problems.

The GNU Coding Standards advise to specify variables as arguments to configure
instead of setting them in environment variables (see

Ah, I see. Compiling with GCC 4.2 should ~work (if you --enable-werror,
the build will break due to new warnings detected by 4.2; and 4.2 has
the "visibility error" that can cause problems at runtime).

For your specific problem, I would suggest building with VERBOSE=1 so
that you see the actual compiler command line. Also, what exactly is
your configure command line?

is gcc 4.0 or 4.2 really the issue? I do not want to build with 10.4
compatibility, so any gcc should do fine, right? Finding a gcc is not

What works for me is to pass CC and CXX not as environment variables to
configure, but as additional arguments,

./configure ... CC=gcc-4.0 CXX=g++-4.0

That way, they are correctly set in the sourced-in enironment.

Re: com.sun.star.packages.zip.ZipIOException

2009-12-07T19:01:01Z

Thanks for the quick reply Mikhail,

I did what you suggested and it now works in most of the cases: thanks!

I now have a different problem since in many cases when I create the
zipPackageFolder with the method getByHierarchicalName("") I discover
that this is empty even if gunzip, file-roller, Karc, winzip 7zip tell
me that there is at least a file in the archive. No big deal since all I
had to do was to add a test for empty archives which should have been
there in the first place, but I still wonder why OOo has to be soooo
strict :-)
The zip files I am working on are publicly available in case you want to
take a look at a couple of them.

Cheers,

Michele

Will OpenOffice 3.1.1 supports com objects

2009-12-07T14:45:40Z

Hi,

I have downloaded openoffice 3.1.1, I want to convert doc to pdf using
microsoft

.net. What dll i need to include and can you provide some code snippet
to

convert.

Before i was using openoffice 2.3, I used to include 4 dll's into .net
project

C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\assembly\cli_basetypes.dll

C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\assembly\cli_cppuhelper.dll

C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\assembly\cli_types.dll

C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\assembly\cli_ure.dll

But all these dll's are not available in the newer version 3.1.1.

I want use it in .net project by including com objects of openoffice, as
i have
plenty of files to convert, it is difficult to do it manually.

I know it is possible to convert to pdf using openoffice 2.3 com
objects.

But in the newer version those dll's are missing.

Thanks & Regards,

Karthik

Hi,

thanks for your reply, but this is not the issue here.

> Be sure your build is using the 4.0 versions of gcc and g++

yes, this is the case.

What is weird that it is found during configure, but not anymore when
building it. I believe you are building under Snow Leopard as well?

Writing help files for an extension

2009-12-07T09:37:42Z

Hi

I'm writing some documentation for an OpenOffice extension, and I have the
following problems with my xhp file :
- in a paragraph, I define a variable with the attribute "visibility" set
to "hidden", but the textual contents of the variable element is still
displayed in the paragraph

- I define a variable with only textual content. If I include a reference to
this variable (using the "embedvar" element) in a "paragraph" element, the
contents of the variable is displayed normally in the paragraph. However, if
I put the same reference to this variable in an "ahelp" element, the contents
of the variable is not displayed in the extended tool tip (although the tool
tip is displayed normally). This is strange, since the reference documents
state explicitly that an "ahelp" element can contain an "embedvar" element.

Does anybody know what's happening and how to fix these problems ?

Thanks

Congratulations to the proof of concept.

Really happy to see this starting.

As mentioned somewhere else, I am a GNU make fan :-)

Re: com.sun.star.packages.zip.ZipIOException

2009-12-07T01:01:10Z

Hi Michele,

The implementation of the package checks the zip format more strictly
starting from OOo3.2, this is why some files that could be handled in
OOo3.1.1 can not be handled any more directly. But it is correct so,
because the file is indeed broken, if the package throws the exception.

I must confess, I do not quite understand what kind of documentation
would you expect. Improvement of the broken zip file check is a bug-fix
and is definitely no new feature.

In case you would like to repair the file please try to insert object of
type NamedValue into the arguments ( args(1) ), with the values
aNamedValue.Name = "RepairPackage"
aNamedValue.Value = true

That will let the package ignore the errors in the broken zip file and
try to repair it.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Mikhail.

com.sun.star.packages.zip.ZipIOException

2009-12-06T20:37:56Z

Hello,

I have downloaded the snapshot OOo-Dev_m7 and I get an error when I run
a macro that inspects a zip file using the com.sun.star.packages.zip
service.
The same macro trying to work on the same file works fine on OOo3.1.1

This is the StarBasic code I use and it dies on
oZipService.initialize(args()):

Function fnGetArchivedFileFullName( sArchiveWithFullPath As String ) As
String
Dim args(0) As Variant
Dim oZipService As Object
Dim oTestArchive As Object

oZipService = createUnoService("com.sun.star.packages.Package")
args(0) = ConvertToURL( sArchiveWithFullPath )
oZipService.initialize(args())

[etc...]

End Function

The error message is as follows:
BASIC runtime error.
An exception occurred
Type: com.sun.star.packages.zip.ZipIOException
Message: /so/ws/OOO320/ooo/package/source/zippackage/ZipPackage.cxx:
:766; Bad Zip File..

So my two questions:
1. has something changed in the zip package between OOo3.1.1 and OOo3.2?
if so is there any documentation of such change?

2. if the answer to the first question is no, I will file a new issue.
would it be possible for someone to confirm it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Michele

Hi,

Not sure about your specific problem, but after applying the patch attached to the issue below I can build fine.

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=106059

Be sure your build is using the 4.0 versions of gcc and g++

But during configure, e.g. stdlib was found just fine.

I should have said, "If you want to use Calc that way, why not?"
Hopefully, the list of attributes would lead the reader to apply them to

Every line that deals with system interfaces? Most of them, yes.

The quantity of new code required for a platform conversion is dependent
on the modularity of the system interface references. Very modular
(professional) code requires little expansion or rework.

/Seriatim:/
* Basic is a second-generation, procedural language. I classify VBA,
OO.o Basic, and (I presume) StarBasic alike, as "procedural languages
with object-oriented features".

* A single, 100% object-oriented API is a major feature. The whole idea
is to let the programmer worry about only one interface -- UNO -- and
let UNO worry about the rest of the world. How well, and how
thoroughly, UNO does this are clearly matters of concern, and debatable.

* Bugs: Issuezilla lists 99 open issues for Basic, many of which are P4
and P5 enhancement requests; none are above P3. Personal priority
assessments of individual bugs may vary sharply from these official
assignments.

* Slow? It's an interpreted language. Slow as compared to what?

* Runtime functions: few programs, or programmers, use more than a small
subset of the available functions. Of course, they use /different/
subsets . . . One nice thing about OO.o is that there are a number of
routes to follow, to result in enhanced functionality, depending on the
time, effort, and skills one is willing to bring to bear on a particular
problem.

That's a very good marketing question. How many potential clients run
(or would like to run) on other platforms? How many would be grateful
for the introduction to OO.o, and the reduced expenses that could follow?

Building OpenOffice.org with GNU make

2009-12-04T08:52:13Z

Hi Lists,

The Build Environment Effort Team(1) has implemented a proof-of-concept
on how to build OpenOffice.org using GNU make. The rationale for this
is explained in this blogpost on GullFOSS:

http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/building_openoffice_org_with_gnu

The Build Environment Effort Team is carefully optimistic that updating
the build system in this way would benefit the development of
OpenOffice.org.
Your questions, opinions and ideas about this topic at welcome. You are
invited to discuss a possible move to GNU make and its implications on
the mailing list dev@.... I will try to answer
questions ASAP.

Best Regards,

Bjoern Michaelsen
