Building From Eclipse

[Ajay Bhat <a....@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using the Eclipse IDE for development and I've svn checked out the
OpenOffice trunk files. Can anyone give me a quick guide or point me to a
link to building in Eclipse as its not mentioned here
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO?

Thanks,

Ajay

Hello Ajay, and yes to confirm Andre's comments. I would LOVE to know how
to do this myself. I think if you configured a custom "build script" -- we
use build.pl, you MIGHT get something going. Due to AOO's size, I think you
would need a machine with a good amount of memory, maybe 8 MB  -- I only
have 4 MB now and have difficulty doing some Eclipse operations on the
source --  and upping your JVM memory usage for sure.

However, I remember having seen a blog post by about building mozilla with

I think that at the moment nobody know how that works or if it works at all.
However, I remember having seen a blog post by about building mozilla 
with eclipse.  It involved a lot of tweaking of eclipse's parameters 
like enlarging the amount of memory to the JVM and fiddling with CDT's 
parameters for scanning C++ files.  I will try to find the link but that 
may take some days.

The general steps would be:

- Create a new (C++) project from the SVN repository.

- Let eclipse download the source code.

- Let CDT scan all C/C++ source files.

- Wrap AOO's build command into an Ant file.

- Hit the button to build AOO


I guess that wrapping the build command into an Ant file is the hardest 
part.
