newbie question: building after making a minor change to to try to fix a crashing bug
I'm trying to fix
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=86443
which is the forward of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430599
No one upstream is doing anything and the bug goes on and on (it's in 3.0.1 still); if I needed to rely on accessibility I'd be annoyed by this bug.
I'm using the sid version of openoffice.org
I've made what I think is a fix to stop the crash in
build/svtools/source/contnr/fileview.cxx
I am doing this to build
export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='debug ccache lang=en-US'
debuild -us -b -uc -nc
I have successfully built the source with those two lines (before my code modification), which is very encouraging.
I hope what I do will build a modified set of packages as quickly as possible.
If there are some tips, that would be great because my scenario is probably typical for minor "hit and run" fixes.
I don't even want to think about getting the upstream OOO to build, that's a learning curve way too far.
