Hamburg Mac Port meeting - Saturday
I woke up at unbelievable time and went to the Prague airport - my
wife was driving and my son was watching all the lights. So early...
Flight was OK. The recent tightening of airport security has almost no
effect - only the toothpaste has to be packaged in seelable foil. Fog
in Prague, but we were flying at 5500 m, jut above the fog - nice
sunny view. Arrival to Hamburg acording to schedule, no problems. Nice
sunrise over the city.
This time I decided to try Jasper bus because it just
arrived. Straight way to the central station, taxi to Google
office. Only Kai and Eric there so far.
Later other people joined: Tino, Shaun, Florian, Martin, Martin and
Shaun, Juergen.
Eric had a presentation about the current status of the port, about X11
etc. Florian gave the presentation about status of the native
filepicker - he is trying to achieve to make it working in X11 as
well. Interesting. Small problems and one big issue, no way to make it
working when X11 is running in fullscreen.
Afternoon hackathon. Stephan reported that when vcl is compiled with
debug, it crashes at the beginning. I confirmed and identified that
the problem is with the file
salbmp.cxx in aqua
directory. If compiled with debug,
soffice.bin crashes,
otherwise it works. We tried to look at it and finished in boost
header files and exceptions handling 8) This will be interesting
problem for our C++ experts... I have to file an issue about it and
ask them. (
Update:
issue
#i72248#,
probably compiler bug!?)
After many experiments, we found
and
described
the way to debug VCL in Xcode. We had to workaround several issues
with Xcode - e.g. it looks like it can't debug binary
named
soffice.bin, but
sofficebin
works... Second Xcode bug in one day? ;-)
Stephan debugged the key repeat error and fixed it, later he applied
the patch to aquavcl01 cws. jsc probably made his first build ;-)
Dinner in the city, bed early because I'm still not completely
OK. Raining in the evening. Other guys went to some coctail bar and
