2022-05-16 Thread medo medo
Hello,
This is Ahmed Aboubakr, software developer from Cairo, Egypt.I am interested in 
contributing to OpenOffice project, but when I try to subscribe to the 
recruitment mailing list, I get the email bounced, with a failure notice that 
this list has moved to volunteer!
So, I hope you provide me with steps to move forward.
Thanks,Ahmed.

This page should help: https://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/
Then ask for further advice or guidance on this list.

Hi Marcus,

We don’t have the German Forum on forum.openoffice.org - we link to here:

It's failing on Linux.

If we want to use the bundled zlib, we have to tell the configure
script --with-zlib=$(OUTDIR) .

The configure script would look for:
 1- the header file in $(OUTDIR)/include
 2- the library in $(OUTDIR)/lib/
But the bundled zlib module installs:
 1a- the header file into $(OUTDIR)/inc
 2a- the static library as file $(OUTDIR)/lib/libzlib.a

So we have to patch it in a similar way as we did for the openssl paths
(i.e. replicate bb956dfd85428dd08d991a01ee6a6c4e966bf431)

Even in that case, it is not easy to understand if we are using the
bundled zlib or the system-level one. The main cause, IMHO, is that
system-level zlib is surely installed (because of other build
dependencies) and is auto-detected by configure scripts and default
Makefile settings.

To a quick glance, also the "openssl" module seems to link to the
system zlib on Linux.

As the bundled zlib is linked statically, I wonder if invoking ldd on
the built executables and .so files is the only way to check for
proper linking.

I am sorry I do not have more time to get into details by now. I hope
the above makes sense.

Best regards,

Welcome Ahmed,

We can use your interest in PHP and also C++. From my point of view you 
decide where to dive into.


If you want to look at OpenOffice directly, I suggest you start with 
building OpenOffice on your favourite plattform.


We help you with that.

The second Option is to help with our add ons. We need to check if some 
of our wikimedia modules run with the latest Wikimedia.


If so, that would be great.

As Dave said. If you need anything, just ask. :-)


I am looking forward of hearing of you.

All the best

Peter

 Greetings,
Thanks Dave for providing me with the link.
Thanks Peter for your warm welcome. I am willing to start with making the 
checks on the add-ons, and then dive into development later.
What is the task and what should I do?
Thanks,
Ahmed.
