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:

• The easiest way on Linux and macOS is to run make odk.subsequentcheck

• The way that also works on Windows is to go to instdir/sdk (don't try directly in odk/)

• 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 each make invocation) each of the SDK's examples/ 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.)
