Hi Korrawit,

Hello all,

This attached patch fixes build on windows / cygwin.

I'm building --without-java, and it breaks because not found
"java_uno_accessbridge", which seems java-related.

I noticed on the mailing list that David Tardon has already pushed your patch, but I'm still curious to know: did you have the Java Access Bridge [1] installed when you tested this patch (I assume you didn't have it because the build broke)?

[1] <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-136191.html>

So, I add a check whether we have "SOLAR_JAVA" before doing this thing.

So java_uno_accessbridge is only added when "SOLAR_JAVA" is set to "TRUE", which AFAICT is something that happens at compile time. I assume this patch is part of the work to (locate and) reduce Java dependencies in order to (1) make it easier for developers to build LibreOffice (e.g. when working on patches that have nothing to do with Java), and (2) eventually transition to a LibreOffice without any Java (i.e. for everybody, not just developers). So when the Java Accessibility API has been replaced by the IAccessible2 API, and when the Java-dependent wizards have been replaced, SOLAR_JAVA will become irrelevant. I'm basically trying to increase my understanding of what's going on, so feel free to correct me of I get it wrong :-)

Best regards,

Christophe



My incremental build went fine after this patch, and the program
started well :-)

Please feel free to comment :-)
