Well, I guess anything is possible with enough resources thrown at it, but I am fairly certain nobody is doing that. In fact, I don't think anybody uses an IDE to manage even a small part of the build of OOo. > and to manage source code (for example > debugging or including/excluding some files/resources, etc)? People use whatever text editor they prefer to edit the source code files, the makefile.mk files in the various source directories, and the files they include. Also relevant are the "d.lst" and "build.lst" files in the "prj" folders. And then there is the configure script (constructed from the configure.in file), etc. No IDE at all involved. The only aspect where an IDE is often used is debugging. At least on the Windows platform one typically uses Visual Studio's IDE to debug. Debugging in Visual Studio does not require that you would have built in it. > I studied this issue on Internet Despite what many people think, random Internet searches is not usually the best way to learn about something, when there is an official site dedicated to the very subject you want to learn about, maintained by the very people who create and maintain it. Simply start from www.openoffice.org , click on "I want to participate in OpenOffice.org", then "Programming", then "how to build OpenOffice.org" and then you are in the OOo wiki and can start browsing around. > Where project files which contain structure > of whole solution are located (in what folder of OO) Nowhere. > and how they can be used by IDE? They can't. --tml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
