Hi

I am new to this community.

I was looking for some easy hacks on this page

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/EasyHacks/by_Required_Skill/Skill_C%2B%2B#Skill_Level:_Beginner

I was looking at the bug

42982 : improve UNO API error reporting

Since I was completely unfamiliar with UNO, I directed to this page

https://niocs.github.io/LOBook/extensions/part1.html#buildsec

It says :

The complete C++ program that creates a Desktop object and loads an empty calc document can be built and run as :

$ git clone https://github.com/niocs/UNOCreateUseObject.git
$ cd UNOCreateUseObject
$ make

$ make CreateUseObject.run


Please let me know if I have to write these commands on Cygwin shell or on Git Bash.

Also, am I heading in right direction to solve this particular bug?

Well, you don't have to learn the ins and outs of UNO before working on patches for this easy hack. Rather focus on the specific topic, read all the commits so far (linked from the report), maybe their review history as well and study the report comments (there is 9 years of history after all).

You set yourself as the assignee, but I reset it because I don't think you will want to stick with this particular task until it is objectively done 100%. Some of the comments mention assigning, but this is not the way to do it in case of easy hacks that can be worked on by multiple contributors.
