About using an option feature in autogen.input <o:p></o:p>–enable-dgbutil<o:p></o:p>on a windows platform. My builds were failing… An initial error msg was that build failed because it could NOT find debug libs for icu . My question today to this list was “what do I need to correct ? And get good builds”.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>A solution I worked out today, corrected issues I was having with building LibreOffice with “–enable-dbgutil”, on a Windows platform. I verified that correct debug lib files even for icu, were being generated. I looked into the /workdir/UnpackedTarBall/icu/source/lib and the debug versions of its range of libs had been built by this LibreOffice build system. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>My methodology<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>I searched the list.freedesktop.org archives for “problems with --enable-dbgutil on Windows” and <o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>I did not find an expected series of posts answering previous questions on how to make it work on windows. …Really…. <o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Nor did I find a series of post to this issue that answered with “we are NOT having any issues building LibreOffice with option feature ‘—enable-dbgutil’ on windows”. <o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Nor did I get a quick answer with a solution from this list. <o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Started a review of LibreOffice’s makefile design, and Library<>.mk file interdependencies to discover why I was having this problem… <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>I tossed that investigation aside thinking that that route had been poured over by LibreOffice experts; and took another look.….<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>I didn’t understand why I had to clean up this mess, with an open source product that has been on the market, for years…. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Boost libs that were built with LibreOffice’s makefile system were not conforming to boost lib naming conventions. Checking, LibreOffice was working with Boost v 1 55 0. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>So I decided to independently build Boost v 1_55_0, all of it. This insured that boost libs would have a correct naming convention. That took several hours. and then referred to a lib path in autogen.input. <o:p></o:p>--with-boost-libdir=/home/lo/master/issues/boost_1_55_0/stage/lib <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Autogen worked with that option feature “–with-boost-libdir”, as per its explicit design features spelled out in configure.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>autogen.input had this option feature:<o:p></o:p>--enable-dbgutil<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p>I will post instructions at <a href="https://github.com/nicholasferguson/LibreOffice-Inx-for-VS2010-VS2012-dev-env">https://github.com/nicholasferguson/LibreOffice-Inx-for-VS2010-VS2012-dev-env</a><o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Regards<o:p></o:p>Nicholas<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p>From: nicholas ferguson [<a href="mailto:nicholasferguson@wingarch.com">mailto:nicholasferguson@wingarch.com</a>] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 9:29 AM To: 'libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org' Subject: enable-dbgutil<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>I am trying to escape having to untar all of the 3rd parties and see which ones are missing win32 debug libs and dlls.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>On first pass of building Libreoffice with:<o:p></o:p>--enable-dbgutil.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>build complained that <o:p></o:p>ExternalPackage_icu.mk:24 ...file icudtd53.dll does not exist in the tarball.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>So reading configure help.
