-First Objective : Compilation of OOo-

After four days of desperate struggles with Ubuntu, packages and lack of space on the hard drive, both Abdelkader and myself have been able to generate and launch the makefile of OOo this afternoon. This will last the whole night, hopefully void of compilation error.

After 8 hours, the compilation ended for both of us.

Then, we had to compile OOo4Kids. We had a tough time getting past some errors, but they were almost all caused by using a wrong version of the sources so we had to apply a patch. After this, we had to build && deliver from the *new* scp2 directory but not to forget to make an "export PKGFORMAT="installed" (we went through some errors forgetting this). Then all we had to do was to make a dmake.

Then, we worked on a small installation problem on Linux. In fact, the installation directory have the pref, and it shouldn't. In the common_brand.scp (which is located in scp2/sources/ooo/) from line 829 to 843 we can see few conditions, depending the system, to put the things on the good place. It works well on Macsosx and Windows but it goes in the wrong place for linux, it hits the "StandaloneValue = "$ORIGIN/..". We don't really understand why yet but we will work on this later. Then, we tried some tests on OOo4Kids with valgrind, we saw some memory licks and we will see about this.

The next step is for me to work on building OOo4Kids for Windows and work on the wiki page for this step and for Thomas to build OOo4Kids on Sugar.
