Re: How to Build LO Eclipse

Hi Drew,

the python support has not yet been merged to master. You need to check out this pull request: https://github.com/LibreOffice/loeclipse/pull/68

Howdy Shobhan,

First, a little embarrassed that I somehow skipped visually what was there for instructions.

Not sure I understand about the python project, that is the only reason I cloned the repository https://github.com/LibreOffice/loeclipse was to pickup the python support. There was no python folder created at that time, so maybe I did something wrong right there. Is there a different repository?

Anyway, imported the source into eclipse (committer-photon june 2018) and I've tried building with ant outside eclipse.

(not sure that it matters but for the LibreOffice installation I'm using the 6.2 master daily build and sdk)

So far no love from either build, but down to only a few errors when done inside Eclipse (4 total); outside using ANT many more.

Anyway, thanks for the response, it was a needed gentle slap on the back of the head ;-0

Will get back into later today and see if I can't get it all  worked out. If really get stuck I'll ask more.

Thanks for the work on the project and best wishes,

Drew

Hello Drew,

If you are looking forward to developing the eclipse addon directly from the source, you can try the following:-

1. Run this command (switch to the build folder in the downloaded repository):

   ~/git/loeclipse/build$ ant -Dlibreoffice.home=/usr/lib/libreoffice -Declipse.home=/home/shobhan/Desktop/..../eclipse

2. A new folder called 'site' is created beside the existing core, java, python (python folder will show up if there is Python module in the repository that you downloaded), build and script folder.

3. Go to Eclipse. Open the Help menu -> Install -> Click the Add button -> Select Local -> Use the wizard to select the 'site' folder created in above step.

A concise version was mentioned under https://github.com/LibreOffice/loeclipse#release-management

If you are looking forward to contributing to the source code, following the steps mentioned under https://github.com/LibreOffice/loeclipse#development would help you get started.

Thanks and Regards,

Shobhan.
