Starting the work

Today I'll start working the GSOC proposal (Performance improvement in Go OpenOffice).

Problems that I have to face:

  • My laptop died yesterday
  • I have to stay a lot of hours in the university and I use to travel two hours at the morning and two hours at the afternoon ( 4 hours total )

Now I have to study the kcachegrind to improve the visualization of the program's profiles, these days i didn't anything because exams an other troubles related with the university.

I feel like I'm too slow. I am going to work harder than I've done so far.

Other experiences:

  • Installed OpenSUSE... on my laptop :(   (that never again will turn on). i don't like this system, but i have to recognize that is easier to work on it if I want to develop OpenOffice with the Go-Oo Team
  • Compiled KCacheGrind ... is very easy to do, but in first time i had some problems.

Compiling KCacheGrind (The KDE forum saved me):

We have to dowload the kcachegrind's code (but also all the kdesdk code, here is where i did my first error).

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdesdk

Now we just have to do the rest:

cd kdesdk
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix)
cd kcachegrind
make

That's all.
