> Is it possible that I don't need module tail_build? tail_build is a "meta-module" that actually builds most of the modules that have been migrated over to the new gnu make based build system. It includes all the "business logic" of Calc, Writer etc, so sure, stuff from it will be needed.

I "faked" it from Xcode's point of view: I created one of the simple sample projects that Xcode offers, called it "cppunittester", built it, and then replaced the actual executable inside with the totally unrelated sal_cppunittester_all (IIRC) executable built in LibreOffice. I.e. I Xcode did not do any compilation of LibreOffice code at all, I just used it to run such code in the simulator (or upload to and run on a device) and debug. Worked fine;) Note that the unit tester I ran does not have any GUI. > Do I just add all > the .a files from core/solver/unxiosr.pro/lib to the project? That would probably be possible, yes. Not all .a files, but the ones relevant for what the app in question does. > I see what you're referring to in the vcl module.

But I don't see main(). main() comes from the somewhat mysterious SAL_MAIN_IMPL etc macros in sal/inc/sal/main.h. In the cppunit case, the SAL_IMPLEMENT_MAIN macro is called in sal/cppunittester/cppunittester.cxx. (Don't look too closely at the iOS code in vcl yet, that is just some rough ideas, a start that has never been actually tried yet. Look at the Mac code in vcl, that at least works. (The iOS code is based on the Mac one.) The actual sequence how LibreOffice starts and gets its message / event loop going is a bit complex. It might suffer from organic evolution and over-engineering over time. Or maybe it really has to be like this. hard to say. Anyway, it is useful to compile at least sal, desktop and the stuff in vcl/aqua with debugging, and then on a Mac step through in the debugger (gdb, or I guess Xcode) what happens when then soffice.bin process starts. (Or on Linux, but there the sequence is a bit simpler; I assume what will be used on iOS matches better how it happens on the Mac.) --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
