Hi Christian,

        Great :-)

 This all works fine except some minor glitches inside libreoffice
which I wanted  to fix once my stuff is stable enough and I find some time.

        Much appreciated of course.

For development I was using the ure and ure-devel packages from 
openSUSE. The problem now is that those packages are no longer available 
( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728561 ) which leaves me 
alone in the dark. I tried to somehow get the sdk working but I failed 
generating the headers from the idl files... so my question is - how to 
use this sdk and is it safe to rely on this sdk

        So - prolly safer. Previously we installed a lot of the internal
headers and tools to get the split build going - this meant that they
worked out of the box on many systems. In -theory- the URE has the same
tools and functionality ;-) in reality ... most likely it needs
improvement around packaging and particularly usability.

        The URE is still there in SUSE - it just lives in the libreoffice-sdk
package.

 or just switch back to M$ office programming + a terminal server?

        Heh, sounds even worse to me.

The M$ office solution was used before I managed to established
openoffice/libreoffice for this task and now I'm a little bit puzzled
if this was a good decision after all...

        Sure it was a good decision.

So what's the current state of ure in libreoffice?

        It's still there, and it should work, anything else is a bug.

        More details such as: error messages from the idl / header compiler - I
assume you're running:
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/sdk/bin/idlc for example ?

        Of course, sharing the source or an equivalent piece of test code would
be even better to allow people to help you.

        All the best,

                Michael.
