This tutorial will assume a stock Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) system as a starting point.
One may obtain ooo-build via CVS according to instructions on the Getting It page. You should then enter the ooo-build directory and run ./autogen.sh --with-distro=Ubuntu. Most likely you'll also want to add the --disable-kde flag (unless you're using Kubuntu).
Additional Required Packages
Packages may be obtained as follows:
sudo apt-get install package_name [additional_package(s)]
- libmono-dev
- [please help populate the rest of this list!]
Failed patches
Some of the patches listed in ooo-build/patches/apply may not apply successfully. You can try to comment them out in the apply file, but this is an experimental solution...
Tips
A shell script like the one below will alert your attention upon completion of the quite lengthy build process. Run it after ./download completes in place of make.
#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting 'make' wrapper..."
cd ~/ooo-build
make
echo "\n\nCompilation finished."
mplayer -really-quiet ~/Music/My_Music_File.mp3
Caveats
Don't do something silly like execute udatedb while make is in progress. This will result in locking the filesystem as read-only and cause the build to fail.
