title: Is it still possible to use the old-style plugin for libreoffice without the UNO-Overhead?
body: <p>I'm using LibreOffice 5.0.6.3 on a Linux machine (openSuSE 13.2). <a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Add-in_for_Programming_in_Calc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a> I found an article how to easily write an add-in without the overhead of the UNO API. In the beginning there is a warning, that this method is outdated, but still supported. But when I try to import my shared library in libreoffice the following error appears:</p>
  
  <pre><code>no symbol "component_writeInfo" in component library &lt;file:///home/username/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/lu27745lr6l0g.tmp_/oolinint2d.so&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Reading this error message, I suppose, that libreoffice is looking for some UNO component. </p>
  
  <p>I see two possibilities:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I made some error in the library, so that LibreOffice doesn't recognize the old format</li>
  <li>LibreOffice doesn't support the old format of add-ins any more</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How do I find out, which one is true?</p>
