OK then, we need to figure out if we really need ANT then....

Library problem
by Rene W. Olsen 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

I got a problem with expunge() When my library gets expunge'd I want to release all the resources. I have already make the free functions but the problem is that they are in "main" interface and expunge is "manager" interface, so is there a way to call the "main" interface from the "manager" interface? I guess this is a quiestion for the Friedens Bros. hope you can help!! Kind regards Rene W. Olsen

Getting involved
by Thomas Frieden 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hi, To dispell the silence a bit (hehe, any D&D fans here ;), I thought I'd write a mail here :) Ok, the purpose is this: Since I now have more time, I would like to become actively invovled (actively as in "I want to write some code"). Are there any projects up for grabs that I can look into ? Regards, -- Thomas Frieden <ThomasF(a)hyperion-entertainment.biz> Hyperion Entertainment - Naur dan i-deryg lhuin

A general question
by Thomas Frieden 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi, I'd like to ask a more general question regarding the porting effort. As we all have seen, activity died down after an initial euphoria. This is dangerous as it might lead to a complete standstill. Therefore, the question is this: Currently, work is underway to get the dependencies ported. But in the very early stages, some of them aren't really needed. So theoretically, work could be started on the low-level parts of OpenOffice itself, for example the build environment and SAL, resolving dependencies as they come up, maybe even creating "dummies" for seldom-used functionality (for example, I've never used any USB stuff with OpenOffice). Ok, that's just food for thought. BTW, OOo builds via dmake, which we already ported (SNAP also builds with dmake). It just depends on newlib V3 which will be in the next update.

ASpell sources,
by Ochal Christophe 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

First of all i'd like to thank Paul for his work on aspell, i will upload his sources to the CVS if it's not been done yet. Paul, how stable was this port? Could this be used by other people already? If so, let me know so it can be submitted to os4depot. Thomas, could you provide a list of the coreutils you already ported to os4 and, if possible, dump the sources on the cvs or devsite? Cheers
