This page explain how to build the GeoAPI OpenOffice.org add-in. Implementors can follow those instructions if they want a different set of Calc spreadsheet formulas. Implementors wanting to use their own implementation with the existing formulas may consider the easier implementation replacement approach instead than this page.
All XFoo Java interfaces are generated from IDL files with the same name. As long as XFoo Java/IDL interfaces are not modified, there is no need for the OpenOffice.org SDK. But if any XFoo interface is modified, then the steps documented below must be done. The last step shall be executed on the client machine (users can also use the "Tools / Package manager" menu from OpenOffice.org GUI).
Compilation requires the ridl.jar, unoil.jar, jurt.jar and juh.jar files, which are automatically downloaded from Maven Central. In addition, the following command-line tools are required for some steps described in this page:
| Command line tool | Provided with |
|---|---|
| idlc | OpenOffice SDK |
| regmerge | OpenOffice SDK |
| javamaker | OpenOffice SDK |
| javap | Java SDK |
| javac | Java SDK |
| jar | Java SDK |
| zip | Unix distribution |
| unopkg | OpenOffice suite |
Replace ooo-path by the path to the OpenOffice.org installation directory. This directory should contain the program and ure-link sub-directories. The OpenOffice.org SDK shall be installed as a sub-directory of the OpenOffice.org root directory. If the name of that SDK directory is different than OpenOffice.org3.3_SDK, then modify the OO_SDK_HOME value below accordingly.
export OFFICE_BASE_HOME=ooo-path export OO_SDK_HOME=$OFFICE_BASE_HOME/OpenOffice.org3.3_SDK export PATH=$OFFICE_BASE_HOME/ure-link/bin:$OO_SDK_HOME/bin:$PATH
cd geoapi-openoffice/src/main/java idlc -C -cid -w -I $OO_SDK_HOME/idl org/opengis/openoffice/*.idl
regmerge ../unopkg/geoapi.rdb /UCR org/opengis/openoffice/*.urd rm org/opengis/openoffice/*.urd cd ../unopkg
