What Operating System (version) are you using?
I am using Windows Vista Business
What is your question or comment?
I am not able to build the 'counter' example included in the SDK. Here is the command line I am using and the errors I am getting. I'm sorry but I'm not at all familiar with 'make' so I don't know what the problem may be.
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.4\SDKFiles\OpenOffice.org1.1_SDK\examples\cpp\counter>make -f Makefile
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname -s, ...) failed.
mkdir ..\\..\\..\\WINexample.out\\misc\\counter
A subdirectory or file ..\\..\\..\\WINexample.out\\misc\\counter already exists.
make: [../../../WINexample.out/misc/counter/XCountable.urd] Error 1 (ignored)
idlc -I. -I../../../idl -O../../../WINexample.out/misc/counter XCountable.idl
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, idlc -I. -I../../../idl -O../../../WINexample.out/misc/counter XCountable.idl, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [../../../WINexample.out/misc/counter/XCountable.urd] Error 2[/color][/color]
Thank you for any assistance.
PS, I have tried again, followed all available directions. There are so many problems, you get passed one only to be confronted with the next one. IDLC can't find includes even if they are hard coded right into the IDL files, etc, etc. I guess OpenOffice is proof of the adage that you get what you pay for. I'd rather cough up the money for Microsoft products than to have to deal with this miserable package. I'm a professional software developer. I have work to get done and can't be bothered with dealing with this miserable product or anything related to it. You can keep your Linus, your Solaris, your Java, your Beans and all your other free crap. Thank god for Microsoft.

Hi, sorry for openning so old thread, but I' have solved this problem for a week and I'm getting still the same error. A have Windows XP SP3 and OOo 3.2.1. Here is my output:

mmake: *** [c:/OOo_SDK/WINexample.out/misc/counter/XCountable.urd] Error 127
I used Google but I found nothing what could help me. Please, somebody help me with this.

Thanks for your suggestion. But I develop it on Win XP and I think on this platform is not necessary this file. I found this in my Makefile:

# test for the platform
PLATFORM := $(shell $(PRJ)/config.guess | cut -d"-" -f3,4)
# config.guess is missing for windows. We rely on getting "" in this case.
ifeq "$(PLATFORM)" ""
PLATFORM = windows
endif

Now I'm getting this output: I copied the "reg3.dll" library to the "bin" directory, but some other libraries are missing. If I copy all the missing libraries, I get new error. I think some paths or something I must set up, but I don't know what.
I'll be thankful for every idea.
