Ref: GNU make version 3.81
downloaded file "ming32w-make-3.81-20080326-src.tar.gz
1.6MB
My computer =HP Pavilion notebook Div9540
using Windows Vista Home Premium (US english version) +
Microsoft Internet Explorer version
8.
A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to download
the OpenOffice.org3 suite (also english version). All went
fine.
Recently in order to improve the programming
possibilities of OpenOffice.org3 I have downloaded
OpenOffice.org_3.1:SDK (also in english).
Upon reading the SDK install online instructions,
namely, to click on the SDK file " setsdkenv_windows" which I did and confirmed
the first question (the path of OpenOffice.org_3.1_SDF program) which went
OK and to confirm the parth of OpenOffice.org3
which also went OK.
However, a third question of the windows command
line asked the following:
"ENTER GNU make tool directory"
which I did several times and to my great
regret I always get on the screen the same answer saying
the file does not exist and the screen keeps on asking
again and again ENTER GNU make tool directory and I keep on getting the
same screen answer "the file does not exist" !!!!
In order to test and make sure the GNU make
file exists on my computer, I opened the windows command line and entered
the full path of the GNU make on my c:\drive and the screen confirmed
the file exists and showed following answer:
"using :
setsdkenv_windows.bat[options]
options:
--force-configure: force a new configuration of
your SDK environment .
Alternatively
ou can edit your SDK environment script directly:
c:\users\david\AppData\Roaming\openoffice.org3.1_sdk\setsdkenv_windows"
-h, --help : print this help and exist
" . end of screen message.
Upon reading the downloaded GNU make manual,
I noticed the GNU make can encounter some bug which probably
prevents the
setsdkenv_windows to recognize the GNU make
file on my computer.
Also the OpenOffice.org Developer manual
mentions the possibility of GNU make bugs and the difficulty when using
Windows.
Would extremely appreciate your valuable comments
how to solve the problem and finally get the OpenOffice.org_3.1_SDK environment
to open and start working. I tried the internet support
of OpenOffice.org and Sun Microsystem and forums etc and could
not find an article or instructions how to solve this
issue. Funny, all othe programs /software on my computer are
working fine and are continuously updated. I aslo have Norton
Internet Security.
I thank you for your attention and hope to hear
from you soon.
