Looking for a straightforward C++ tutorial

[iwbnwif]

Hello forum.

This is my first attempt at using UNO from C++ and I am very much a beginner with some of the tools and concepts.

My environment is LibreOffice 4.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.10.

I have downloaded the SDK and tried to work through the "getting started" but it all seems very Java oriented and talks about setting up NetBeans / Eclipse etc.

So far all I have managed to achieve is run the "setsdkenv_unix" script and build the 4 examples (which are in /usr/lib/libreoffice/sdk/examples/cpp). They built okay and run.

But now I am getting stuck. What I want to do is build the example here:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documen ... onnections

If possible I would like to build it within my IDE (Codelite) but if not the command line is fine.

Currently I am getting errors in sal/types.h "Could not find 16-bit type, add support for your architecture" +++ for other types as well
Also sal/types.h "unknown platform" and
lbnames.h "No supported C++ compiler environment" (although there of course is)

Thank you for helping!

If you don't get a response here, I'd suggest you try one of the developer mailing lists, either at Apache OO, or LibO.

Some environmental definitions are required to build examples with headers from SDK. See sdk/settings/settings.mk file and make files for these examples.
