Re: New Module / OpenOffice Language Binding

Hi, Yes, i wish to distribute Puno under php.net / PECL, but since i read that in order to do it the software must use PhP 3.x license I worry if it would be possible. I've posted the same question at the Openoffice development mailing list and i was told that LGPL and PHP 3.x are incompatible. About a Windows Version, there is no problem to get it work, except perhaps creating the config.w32 and changing some parameters in the Makefile configured by the Oo SDK scripts, but since the functions are already available using COM i see no need for it. By the way, when building puno's module it is required to "run" the cppumaker target from the Makefile before running the "make all". Is there a way to put it as a requirement for the "all" target using a config.m4 parameter?

By the way, you may like to update it to 3.01. There is no issue, as far as I remember the PHP License is compatible with LGPL. The PHP license should be used only with softwares distributed under php.net. Will you use pecl cvs and website to distribute and develop your extension? CVS is not a requirement but is a nice way to get patches and feedbacks :) > Please feel free to send any other comments or suggestions. I did not review the codes but looks at the docs and examples, you already did a great work. It would be a very good addition to PECL. One question, is it possible to get it work on windows or is it a limitation of the OOo libs/SDK? --Pierre --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter.
