...after the new types.rdb format that unoidl-write generates has been used internally since LibreOffice 4.1 in 2013; following up on6db34b6b33"Directly build UNOIDL .rdb files from .idl files" and its "The legacy tools idlc, regcompare, regmerge, and regview are still contained in the URE or SDK for now." The tools idlc and regmerge are deprecated but still shipped in the SDK for now. The plan is to drop them completely for LO 7.5. odk/examples/ and ure/source/uretest/ are adapted to use unoidl-write instead of idlc and regmerge: * unoidl-write does not use a C preprocessor and the # directives in .idl files, it supports reading a single .idl file (containing an arbitrary number of declarations) or a directory tree where each directory corresponds to a UNOIDL module of the same name and each .idl file contains the declaration of the (non-module) UNOIDL entity of the same name. For some of the odk/examples/, that required moving individual .idl files into sub-directories named after the respective modules. In odk/settings/std.mk, definitinos of IDL and REGMERGE have been replaced with a new UNOIDLWRITE. * unoidl-write always enforces reserved UNOIDL identifier restrictions (see04af4e4f55"[API CHANGE] Fix all bad UNOIDL identifiers across offapi" and6201792406"Enforce the UNOIDL identifier scheme") (which idlc only enforced optionally with -cid -we). That required renaming "my_module" in odk/examples/DevelopersGuide/Components/CppComponent/. * The new types.rdb format is not compatibly with LibreOffice < 4.1. Clients generating extensions containing such files are advised to use appropriate LibreOffice-minimal-version elements.

Office Development Kit (odk)
Office development kit (odk) - implements the first step on the way to the LibreOffice SDK
tarball.
Part of the SDK; to build you need to add --enable-odk.
Testing the Examples:
-
Go to
instdir/sdk(Don't try directly inodk/) -
See https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/install.html how to set up the SDK.
- When asked about it during configuration, tell the SDK to do automatic deployment of the example extensions that get built.
-
In a shell set up for SDK development, build (calling
make) and test (following the instructions given at the end of eachmakeinvocation) each of the SDK'sexamples/sub-directories.-
An example script to build (though not test) the various examples in batch mode is
find examples \( -type d -name nativelib -prune \) -o \\( -name Makefile -a -print -a \( -execdir make \; -o -quit \) \)(Note that one of the example extensions asks you to accept an example license on stdin during deployment.)
