This page is describing the latest version. For 2.4, see Getting it 2.4.x The source code can be fetched in several ways, as described below. Downloading the sourceThe latest version of the source code can be downloaded as tarballs from Download, see Source on the right. The source is pretty big and has therefore been split into several files.
For a full build you need them all. For development, the core package is usually all you need. Unpack the tarballs one at a time to a directory. They will create a new directory with the name of the milestone, such as OOO310_m11. This folder will from now on be the $SRC_ROOT, so set this environment variable to this path on your machine. If you intend to build on Linux without the system tarball:
Checking out from SubversionChecking out the source code from the Subversion tree can be done in the following ways. Checking out the trunk (main development branch) svn checkout svn://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk The files will be placed in the current directory. More information: See also |
