OOo Build Wizard

The OOo Build Wizard

Goal

Lower the barrier of entry for OOo hacking and modularization.

Approach

Graphical access to the OOo source code and support of configuring, building and installing OOo (Custom) versions.

User Workflows

Find a remote (OOo) repository, check it out, configure it, build it, install it.
Find a local repository, re-configure it, ...

Requirements

Basic Functionality

Find&clone a repository
Update a repository
Configure a repository
Build a repository
Install OOo
Delete a repository

3rd Party Software

Libraries

Identify required 3rd party code
manage 3rd party code (install, de-install)

Build Tools

Identify and manage build tools

Advanced Functionality

Push a repository
Provide a repository
Clone a local repository
re-build on change

Constraints

Single User Interface - The user should be able to fulfill the whole lifecycle of checkout out the source, configuring it, build it, installing it, uninstalling, deleting the source.
Automatic dependency satisfaction

GUI Mockup

Architecture

RepoAccessor - This clones, pushes etc. source code.
Configurer - Configures a local clone.
Builder - Builds it.
Prerequisite Manager (PreqManager) - Manages Prerequisite Providers:
- Mercurial
- CygWin
- All external configurable things, such as
  - libxml
  - gnome
  - ...

RepoAccessor

Give access to the Open Office source code repositories. Allow e.g. "clone" a particular version, which may than be build.

Configurer

Show available build time configuration switches. Allow to set configuration parameters. Ensure that external dependencies are resolved, if applicable.

Builder

Start the build, show progress.

Prerequisites Provider

Ensure that a particular prerequisite is available.

On request the prerequisite provider for CygWin offers to download and to install CygWin.

Tasks

Define sub-tasks and schedules for

Configurer - Owned by Cynthia Qu
Builder
RepoAccessor
CygWin prerequisite provider
GCC prerequisite provider.
MS C++ prerequisite provider.

+====Prerequisites Provider====
-The immediate goal is to get the "stack" complete. Currently we understand that we need the following (from top to bottom):
+Ensure that a particular prerequisite is available.
-# System Analysis - Analyse the system regarding needed tools, libraries and other prerequisites.
+On request the prerequisite provider for CygWin offers to download and to install CygWin.
-# Feature Selection/Configuration - Select a the feature set, respectively choose from a different implementations (e.g. the libxml may be used from the system or may be self built).
-# Download / Checkout the Source.
-# Configure and start the build.
