Prepared Build Images
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
Building OpenOffice.org can be a challenging task not only for people new to the build process. With a prepared machine it is easier to get a build environment running and therefor people can start contributing to project faster without the obstacle of building.
Here is a list of virtual machine images that contain a complete and ready to start OOo build environment. If you have prepared such build environment on a free operating system, feel free to add it to the list here.
Ubuntu Intrepid
This harddisk image for VirtualBox contains a complete Ubuntu operating system, all necessary prerequisites and the sourcecode of the developer milestone DEV300_m35.
- Download and install VirtualBox
- Download and extract the VDI image (could take some time, the extracted image is 16 GiB large!)
- Create a new VM in VirtualBox with at least 512 MiB RAM
- Add the VDI image as boot disk to the created VM
- Boot it and have fun!
- If you need help read the README file on the Desktop and post your question to one of the mailing lists
