4 errors shown it seems to be working fine.

Using gramadoir.sxw macro in OpenOffice.org 3.

OpenOffice.org 3, in Tools > Options... > + OpenOffice.org > Security > Macro Security... > I changed the Security level from High to Medium Level. (So that I was prompted to run the macro.)

Below are a set of steps that I found on the Internet for using 1.1.2 macros in OpenOffice.org 2.03, link as follows :

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=45437

Extract:-

1. In the document containing the macro required: select Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic...
2. In the OpenOffice.org Basic Macros dialog: select "Organizer..."
3. In the OpenOffice.org Basic Macro Organizer dialog: select the Libraries Tab
4. Then highlight the required library and select "Export..."
5. Check "Export as BASIC Library" and select "OK"
6. From the "Export as BASIC Library" dialog save in a suitable folder.
7. Close the original document and open a new document.
8. Select Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic...
9. In the OpenOffice.org Basic Macros dialog: select "Organizer..."
10. In the OpenOffice.org Basic Macro Organizer dialog: select the Libraries Tab
11. Make sure that "My Macros & Dialogs" is selected (or wherever you want the new library)
12. Select "Import..."
13. In the "Import Libraries" dialog: locate the folder saved in step 6.
14. Two files (dialog.xlb and script.xlb) should be visible.
15. Highlight one and select "Open"
16. In the resulting dialog, the filename selected is at the top and the library name is in the box below with a check against it: check "Replace existing libraries" and select "OK"
17. Now repeat the previous two steps for the other .xlb file.

This all seems to work ok.

When I go Tools > Macro > Run Macro > Macro Selector> Library + MyMacros + Gramadoir > Gramadoir > Macro Name callGramadoir.

callGramadoir (is highlighted) > Run

I get the macro on screen with an error message.

BASIC runtime error.
An exception occured
Type: com.sun.star.lang.IlleagalArgumentException
Message URL seems to be an unsupported one.. OK

Contents of Macro Gramadoir

The line where I have put the * seems to be the problem?

const Engine="groo-ga.bat"
const TempFileName="GrOOo.sxw"

sub callGramadoir

oPathSubst = createUnoService("com.sun.star.util.PathSubstitution")
TempDir = oPathSubst.getSubstituteVariableValue("$(temp)")
tempURL=TempDir & "/" & TempFileName
myURL=ThisComponent.getLocation()
shellcommand=Engine
param=Chr(34) & convertFromURL(myURL) & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & convertFromURL(tempURL) & Chr(34)
Shell(shellcommand,2,param,true)

dim NoArgs()

* theDoc=StarDesktop.loadComponentfromURL(tempURL,"_blank",0,noArgs())

end sub

Is this because OpenOffice.org now uses .odt files? Is it just a question of editing a couple of entries in the two batch files?

Aquileo | x64 Linux workaround

The packages distributed with x64 Ubunty Hardy do not properly. You get the following error:

$ gram-ga.pl
An Gramadoir: problem reading the database
at /usr/bin/gram-ga.pl line 339
$

I'm don't know perl but when using strace it looks like the persistence format the dictionaries are stored in is not readable portable between x32 and x64.

I fixed the problem by building and installing the package from source. I just logged the bug in case someone else gets this problem.

Aquileo | Search bug with --api

$ gr --api

i.e. the unknown word "b" is marked incorrectly as the "b" in "b'asal".

Aquileo | EO language is not compatible with engine

Fri, 25 Mar 2005 12:52:33 -0000

After installing engine and eo

cd eo
./configure

fails with message
"configure: need to run ../configure first"

The reason seems to be variable in configure script
GRAMDIR=".."
that should be set to
GRAMDIR="../engine"
like for example in "fr" package.

Also make fails with Make message (here german translation)

make: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target
ťlexicon-eo.bsŤ,
benötigt von
ťLingua-EO-Gramadoir/lib/Lingua/EO/Gramadoir.pmŤ, zu
erstellen. Schluss.

Make can not find rule for lexicon-eo.bs target

I could only get it runing after using 6.0 version of
develper pack
loaded not from cvs but directly as file tar
