[Ubuntu] [hardy] Problem with development of UNO-Components for OpenOffice

[Thomas Bechtold]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I want to develop an Addin for Openoffice-Calc. The procedure is described under http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_Calc_Add-In_Project_Type

I tested that procedure under Windows XP and that works fine (with OO2.2.0 , OO 2.2 SDK, Netbeans 5.5 and Java 1.6.0 Update 1)

Then i installed openoffice-dev and sun-java (all packages) version 1.6.

When i try to deploy the office-extension, i get the following error:

setting up UNO environment ...
/usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/linux/bin/idlc: 4: basename: not found
/usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/linux/bin/idlc: 4: /usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/linux/bin/.bin: not found
/home/tommy/Arbeit/netbeans-workspace/Addin1/nbproject/build-uno-impl.xml:49: apply returned: 127
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

Under Windows XP, all works fine with the same program and sdk versions.

I downloaded netbeans 5.5 (without java jre&sdk) and installed netbeans unter /opt/netbeans5.5

[Thomas Bechtold (toabctl)]

i searched with google an found a solution, but that didn't work.

the solution said, that i have to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openpoffice/program

didn't work for me.....

The output under windows xp is:

setting up UNO environment ...

uno-idl-compile:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 15 seconds)

and I can use the addin under openoffice. all works fine under Win.

I can confirm this bug. It affects openoffice-dev package. I can't tell if the bug is in that package, on if it is related to NetBeans OpenOffice.org plugin.

The problem is that in wrappers located into /usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/linux/bin/
the command basename is used, but PATH isn't set.

The solution is to replace `basename` with `/usr/bin/basename` in each scripts:
autodoc, cppumaker, idlc, idlcpp, avamaker, rdbmakerl, regcomp, regcompare, regmerge, regview, sp2bv, unoapploader, uno-skeletonmaker, xml2cmp

this behaviour is also reported here: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80183

[exactt (giesbert)]

version 1.1.2 of the Netbeans Openoffice API Plugin circumvents the problem successfully...

[Pkapsc (andre-pietsch)]

For the meantime:

cd /usr/lib/openoffice/sdk/linux/bin/
sudo grep -rl "basename" . | xargs sed -i -e 's/basename/\/usr\/bin\/basename/'
