To reproduce the problem, do the following steps: 1. Install LibreOffice 7.1 and SDK. 2. cd /opt/libreoffice7.1/sdk/ 3. ./setsdkenv_unix 4. cd examples/cpp/DocumentLoader/ 5. make DocumentLoader.run It complains about the lack of /libmergedlo.so: loading component library </libmergedlo.so> failed /home/buildslave/source/libo-core/cppuhelper/source/shlib.cxx:298 I have tested this with LibreOffice 7.0 and its SDK, and the problem was just the same. Upon creating a symbolic link from the appropriate library file to /libmergedlo.so things will be fine. Things are fine when working with compiled LibreOffice git master. The problem is not limited to this specific SDK example. I have written a short DOCX->PDF conversion program with C++, and I had the exact same error when executing this line: xInterface = Reference<XInterface>(resolver->resolve(sConnectionString), UNO_QUERY );
In the chat we discussed this and I could not reproduce with the Arch package https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libreoffice-fresh-sdk/
Thank you for testing. I have this problem in Ubuntu 20.04 using the official DEB packages from https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7.0.5/deb/x86_64/ LibreOffice_7.0.5_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz LibreOffice_7.0.5_Linux_x86-64_deb_sdk.tar.gz https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/7.1.1/deb/x86_64/ LibreOffice_7.1.1_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz LibreOffice_7.1.1_Linux_x86-64_deb_sdk.tar.gz
By setting "bootstrap variables", the problem goes away. Using shell script, URE_BOOTSTRAP environment variable can be set: export URE_BOOTSTRAP=vnd.sun.star.pathname:/opt/libreoffice7.1/program/fundamentalrc In C++ code, one can use: Bootstrap::set("URE_BOOTSTRAP", "vnd.sun.star.pathname:/opt/libreoffice7.1/program/fundamentalrc"); It should be noted that in the latest build of LO master, I do not have such problem. Even in that situation, setsdkenv_unix does not set URE_BOOTSTRAP. Some information about the bootstrap settings for applications can be read here: /opt/libreoffice7.1/sdk/include/rtl/bootstrap.h
Tested on Windows 10, and the same problem exists. One need to set this variable to fix the problem: SET URE_BOOTSTRAP=vnd.sun.star.pathname:C:/Progra~1/LibreOffice/program/fundamental.ini Otherwise, setsdkenv_windows.bat does not properly set this environment variable. (I set the compiler via Microsoft scripts) To reproduce, do these steps for LibreOffice x64 on Windows 10 with VS 2019 and Cygwin64 installed: > cd C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\sdk > setsdkenv_windows.bat ****************************************************************** * * SDK environment is prepared for Windows * * SDK = c:\progra~1\Libreoffice\sdk * Office = c:\progra~1\Libreoffice * Make = C:\cygwin64\bin * Zip = C:\cygwin64\bin * cat = C:\cygwin64\bin * sed = C:\cygwin64\bin * C++ Compiler = * C# and VB.NET compilers = * Java = * Special Output directory = c:\libreoffice7.1_sdk * Auto deployment = YES * ****************************************************************** > set|grep UNO UNO_PATH=c:\progra~1\Libreoffice\program > cd examples\cpp\DocumentLoader > %comspec% /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat" > make > c:\libreoffice7.1_sdk\WINexample.out\bin\DocumentLoader.exe -env:URE_MORE_TYPES="file:///C:/Progra~1/LibreOffice/program/types/offapi.rdb" test.odt Error: cannot establish a connection using 'uno:socket,host=localhost,port=2083;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager': loading component library </mergedlo.dll> failed > SET URE_BOOTSTRAP=vnd.sun.star.pathname:C:/Progra~1/LibreOffice/program/fundamental.ini > c:\libreoffice7.1_sdk\WINexample.out\bin\DocumentLoader.exe -env:URE_MORE_TYPES="file:///C:/Progra~1/LibreOffice/program/types/offapi.rdb" test.odt So, by setting URE_BOOTSTRAP environment variable manually, everything will be OK.
This seems to be a confirmation of this bug: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2021-July/087617.html
This is fixed in LibreOffice 7.2.0 Works fine in: Version: 7.2.0.4 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9a9c6381e3f7a62afc1329bd359cc48accb6435b CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
The problem is still there with 7.2.0.4 on Windows. Version: 7.2.0.4 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9a9c6381e3f7a62afc1329bd359cc48accb6435b CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Dear Hossein, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
I no longer face this issue, therefore I close down this bug as WORKSFORME. LO SDK works as expected with LO 25.8 on Linux: Version: 25.8.1.1 (X86_64) Build ID: 54047653041915e595ad4e45cccea684809c77b5 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded And also with 25.2 on Windows: Version: 25.2.6.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 729c5bfe710f5eb71ed3bbde9e06a6065e9c6c5d CPU threads: 20; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded On the other hand, now I receive somehow similar issues on macOS, in which I will file in another bug report.
