Mono Bridge to OpenOffice.org

Hmmmm... I guess the OpenOffice (Ximian Edition) list
is probably the better list to email.

Anybody?

Right.

You have to build it 
We use a different stlport than Novell so getting the
component
from them likely doesn't work.

Right. I'd enable them also for Debian (and therefore
Ubuntu once it syncs) but the problem is that it currently
needs .dlls from the Windows installset to build which
is a no-no for packages in Debian main. Maybe, I'll create
a libuno-cil for contrib, but I am not sure... Convince me
that I need to

Yes, because of the above reason.

	As _rene_ says - that may be difficult. IIWY I'd just
install OpenSUSE
10.1 to have a play with it  Having
said that, there is a vicious TLS
bug in Mono just now that breaks the OO.o integration, and
the reason
for it is -really- unclear, possibly a glibc issue.

	Nah - I'm assured that building OO.o on Ubuntu is not that
bad; doko
(CC'd) will help you if you're lucky [ wander over to
#go-oo on
irc.freenode.net ].

> > And this mono bridge is not built by default. 

	Yes - we are looking for someone enterprising to re-write
the managed C
++ type generation piece to use fprintf to generate CLR
assembler that
we can assemble into the DLLs; to avoid shipping them.

	If you have some Mono understanding, you only need a tiny
portion of
the OO.o source built to take that project on, I'd be eager
to help:
it'd be great to get the Mono binding shipped more widely
(and up-stream
too).

	HTH,

		Michael.

Hello Rene,

I would love to see the Mono Bridge available for
OpenOffice.org for Ubuntu.  Contrib sounds good.  Not
sure what that means or how to access this.  

I just know I was really impressed by the Ubuntu 6.06
Live CD.  I used apt-get to get and install various
software on my computer, such as, Oracle 10g Express
Edition.  I was amazed how simple it was. 

I'm not sure how to convince you.  But, I am willing
to help though.  If the only way to get it is to build
OpenOffice.org, then that is what I must do.  I'm
scared I might not succeed in compiling such an animal
though since OOo has so many dependencies.

Thanks though,
Daniel
