Requirements

• Subversion version 1.5.4 or later

AOO's source code is managed in a subversion repository, so you need a svn client to checkout the sources. You can get subversion binaries from the subversion project. Version 1.5.4 or later is required because of important fixes related to the merge-feature.

Get the source via Subversion

You need about 4.7 GB for a checkout from the svn repository. Building the source requires another 5GB.

• check out the latest source from svn

svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk aoo

The directory structure when you have checked out the sources from svn will look like:

aoo/
aoo/main 
aoo/extras
aoo/test/extras
aoo/ext_libraries
aoo/ext_sources
