First of all... nicely written Christophe... [snip] I am involved as Project Manager, Peter Bengtsson is working on porting NAS (one of OOo's dependencies), [snip] good idea Peter ;-)) [snip] We are communicating weekly with the Jamiga team, and will also investigate kaffe. Luckally, OOo can be used without java, although some features won't work without it. [snip] could someone tell me how much work has be made by the jamiga team? I always read something like version 0.3 since june 04... kr Daniel aka Jonny_Rico ______________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

CVS online
by Christophe Ochal 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

Hello, I started importing the code into the CVS, currently only ASPELL source is there, but i'll add more parts during the coming days. To get it: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/amiopenoffice login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/amiopenoffice co -P head This will create a directory 'head' with inside the subdir ASPELL Replace anonymous with your username at sourceforge.net.

NAS Update
by Peter Bengtsson 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

Here is a quick update. I will put this on the project status pages when they are up again. Preliminary evaluation of the portability of NAS, the Network Audio System is now complete. The following items have been identified: * Configuration is dependant on X11. Manual configuration is possible but will likely take some time. * Depends in part on X11 but this seems to be fairly isolated. My *guess* is that this can be worked around with a small wrapper. * Platform specific code and non ISO-C constructs are common and may require some extra work. Some functionality might be unavailable without too much work but the same seems to be true for win32 and OOo works there so this is likely not a problem. * Actual audio code is relatively well isolated and when the api is understood, it would likely be easy to map to AHI. (NB: I do _not_ know how AHI works, so this is partly a guess) Overall portability: 6 of 10. Suggested skills for porting: Unix, Sockets, C, AHI. Suggested first steps: Untangle build system and configure manually. As for the testing of existing ports it goes forward but will take a bit of time as I am attempting to test more than minimum basic functionality. (And my day-job is taking quite a bit of time at the moment) And finally, a question for Thomas or/and Hans-Jörg (I said I would take you up on the offer to answer questions about V50+ programming :) 1) Is it legal to call dos.library/FSync() on a filehandle obtained from dos.library/Open()? 2) Is intuition.library/AllocScreenBuffer() broken with regard to the SB_COPY_BITMAP flag? 3) How much should I trust the autodocs? I.e. are they completely up to date, 75% ok or 8.1% ok? -Peter aka. Archprogrammer Reality is for people who cannot face ScienceFiction. Only lefthanded people are in their right minds.

Making compiler & tools available
by Ochal Christophe 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Hi all I've been thinking of making a whole dev kit for classic available for use by the project (gcc 3.4, 3.9 NDK & whatnot) but i lack storage on kefren.be to store this. DaveyD, how much storage do we have available on dev.amigaopenoffice.org? Also, does anyone have requests for avaiable tools? I started looking into perl 5 yesterday to see if i can remove the ixemul dependency (mind you, my coding experiance is limted so i might be able to pull it of) Also, we really need to talk about the CVS server on sf.net, do we populate it with Olegil's head, or do we upload module per module (while maintaining the directory structure of OOo) Do all the coders know how to use CVS? ---- Ochal Christophe Verantwoordelijke Technische Dienst Fem Computer Systems NV Dendermondsesteenweg 7 9300 Aalst Tel: 053/771816 Fax: 053/214628 Email: co(a)fem.be

dotproject notifications ?
by Jürgen Schober 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

BTW: Could one switch off the dotproject notifications of dev.openoffice.org ? I think that's a bit of an overkill to have this ML and a notification for messages posted to the board. I didn't find anything in my user settings. thx -- Jürgen Schober 7900 E.
