Tools question on Wiki
by Scott W 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

ok, so at http://amigaopenoffice.org/index.php?option=com_wikidoc&task=viewcontent&do… there's a list of some tools, with links to each. Besides thinking they're now mentioned in all 3 wiki pages ( ;-) ), I have the following questions: 1. GCC installer- this is for gcc v2.95-3.4 for AOS3. It's generally a _bad_ thing to try to compile with multiple versions of gcc, and 2.95 is pretty long in the tooth. So: a. Do we have a confirmed gcc/g++ version for: AOS3.X? AOS4/PPC? Links to either? 2. Boost library- I haven't looked at this much, just their home page briefly, but it looks like a C++ utility library for the most part. There may be some investigation needed with respect to using this in code going back to OOo ultimately. I'm also not sure if anyone's determined if this is going to buy us anything (although likely no idea yet). 3. JPEG and zlib libs- what are the min required versions for OOo? 4. tcsh and csh ports- a. are these both 68k ports, or buildable for PPC and AOS4? b. If either one is 'less complete' that the other, it's possible to have buildscripts work on one and not the other. it could be in our best interest to choose one or the other and make that the 'golden standard' for the actual build environment. Anyone? Thanks, Scott

Site translation?
by Ochal Christophe 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

Hi all, On the forum on amigaopenoffice.org JonnyRico asked wether or not the site needs translating, i think that it's best if that is best discussed on the mailinglist, with DaveyD. The site http://amigaopenoffice.org is supposed to be a support & information site, and therefor discussions related to the project don't really belong there. Use the ML people ;) ---- Amon_Re Ochal Christophe Webmaster for: http://www.kefren.be http://www.metalfest.be http://amigadev.amigaworld.net

Dependencies - csh
by Tony Wyatt 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

I took the csh550.lha from Aminet as advised, and I can compile it with SAS/C with no changes. The resulting binary (68k) runs on the 4000/OS4 68k and on the A1/OS4 PPC in emulation. The only problem that I can see is that the shell does not print its prompt to the screen. All output from the shell (like error messages and built-in commands) seems to work OK (both platforms). This shell does not use ixemul and I can not find any reference to "fork". As it stands, it needs Amiga-like paths (it can't understand /ram/filename). I'll update the wiki as soon as I get the prompt to work. I'll also try compiling it with gcc (haven't used gcc on the A1 yet, so a new adventure). cheers

Mission statement
by Christophe Ochal 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

Hello, I'm currently thinking of the Mission Statement, but i'm kinda low on idea's for formulating it, maybe you guys can do that, anyway, this is the gist of what it should say i think: "Amiga OpenOffice.Org is a project created by the Amiga community to port OpenOffice.Org to AmigaOS. Our main focus is to port OpenOffice.Org to the newest version of AmigaOS, AmigaOS4, but we welcome everyone who can contribute to it, wether he/she is an AmigaOS3.x user, Aros user or MorphOS user." Maybe appointing a PR guy would be usefull already :p Kind regards -- Amon_Re Christophe Ochal Hoge Buizemont 168 9500 Geraardsbergen, Belgium Mobile: 0032 (0)479/46 45 74 http://www.kefren.be http://www.metalfest.be

Thanks, Scott PS- wikis are NOT supposed to make you write your own HTML!
