Reviewing the Extension and Building Guides

I am building some development coursework for OpenOffice and I am going
through some of the guides. I am not sure if these guides need some update
taking that some of the process might have change.

The extension guide talks about solvenv which points to a perl script  that
currently is not available, can anyone suggest a new link or removing this
part since the script is outdated?
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_packing

Another is the OpenOffice Build guide, if the current process different
from the one list there? If so? which parts are outdated so they can be
worked upon.

I have looked into the SVN and came with some of the links pointing to
the SVN repo. You can see my changes on the history of the site:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Extensions_packing&action=history
However I most say I never heard about these scripts for packaging.
How much are they currently used now? I guess this is a question for
the extension developers. I am CC them.

Well maybe we should bookmark them out of the archieves so we have a
concrete task we can ask volunteer to take over.

It is http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO.

But for Windows there is something to do. The link "Windows" goes to a 
page 
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Windows, 
but the content of that page is not complete and needs a lot of improvement.

So see also 
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows.

But that is not all. Have a look into the readmes in trunk\main\external.

And the atlbase.h part should be integrated into the other software 
requirements.


Another missing part is, how to use git together with svn. That is in 
some mails on the dev-list.


Kind regards
Regina
