=== Source code ===
+
 
+
The source code can be downloaded as tarballs, e.g. [http://download.openoffice.org/3.0.0/source.html here for OOo 3.0.0]. In case there are newer releases or for developer snapshots please see the [http://download.openoffice.org/ Download Central] ''Development'' section.  The source is huge, so it was split to several files: for newer releases than OOo3.0 substitute OOo_3.0.0_ accordingly:
+
 
+
* <strong>OOo_3.0.0_src_core.tar.bz2</strong> - the necessary part for each build, the other tarballs depend on this one.
+
* OOo_3.0.0_src_binfilter.tar.bz2 - the filters for old binary [[StarOffice]] formats.
+
* OOo_3.0.0_src_l10n.tar.bz2 - translations to other languages than English and German.
+
* OOo_3.0.0_src_sdk.tar.bz2 - OOo SDK (Software Development Kit).
+
* OOo_3.0.0_src_system.tar.bz2 - libraries that usually are on a standard Linux system and it's not absolutely necessary to build own version on Linux. For a Windows build this package is usually required. If you intend to build on Linux <strong>without</strong> this tarball:
+
** You will need to tell ./configure explicitly to use the system libraries for the software that is otherwise contained in this tarball. Otherwise the build will fail.
+
** System software is in active development. If it has changed significantly (and Mozilla sometimes does), the build may fail or OpenOffice.org may not work correctly.
+
* unowinreg.dll - Do not be fooled by the .dll extension. Without it, the build will fail on Linux and it is not included in the core package. Don't worry about downloading this now because the build process will tell you where to get it and where to stick it to proceed.
+
 
+
For a full build you need them all. For development, <tt>src_core</tt> is usually all you need (but see the caveats for <tt>src_system</tt> above).
+
 
+
Download them to one directory and unpack them.  Information how to checkout from CVS follows.

+
=== Vanilla build ===
+
 
+
You might be interested particularly in the [http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_linux.html#GetTheSourceCode Get the source code] section in the build guide.  It is written for Linux, but it is quite similar for all the platforms.
+
 
+
export 'CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs'
+
cvs login
+
(CVS password: anoncvs)
+
cvs co -r <milestone> OpenOffice3
+
 
+
The tool to browse project [http://tools.openoffice.org/source/browse/tools/ source code online] has some [http://tools.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectSource additional hints].
+
 
+
If you want just to test development releases, you can download already compiled builds from [http://download.openoffice.org/680/]. List of available Mac builds is in [[Mac OS X Development Builds]].

== Checking out a CWS through CVS ==
+
 
+
''This section is a draft!''
+
 
+
First, find the CWS name such as picom.  Then, lookup the CWS name in EIS (e.g., [http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Id=5112&logon=true&OpenOnly=false&Section=All picom]).  Notice "Milestone (current)" is m222 (in this example as of time of writing): that is the base milestone.  Then, notice the affected modules listed under "Modules & Files."
+
 
+
You will checkout the base milestone from CVS.  The convention for base milestone is SRC680_m### (later DEV300_m###?). Then in each affected module (where a module is basically a directory), you will update the module with CVS.  The convention for the revision tag for the CWS is cws_src680_####.
+
 
+
Here is a script.
+
 
+
<code>
+
#!/bin/bash
+
# configure these variables according to the particular CWS
+
AFFECTED_MODULES="basebmp basegfx canvas comphelper cppcanvas \
+
        desktop filter goodies offapi offuh psprint sal  \
+
        slideshow solenv testshl2 tools unotools vcl xpdf"
+
BASE_MILESTONE_TAG=SRC680_m222
+
CWS_TAG=cws_src680_picom
+
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs'
+
echo 'Enter the password is anoncvs'
+
cvs login
+
cvs co -r $BASE_MILESTONE_TAG OpenOffice2
+
for d in $AFFECTED_MODULES
+
do
+
        echo "updating module $d"
+
        pushd $d
+
        cvs up -dP -r $CWS_TAG
+
        popd
+
done
+
</code>
+
 
+
'''If''' you have a working [[CWS#cws_config_file_.28.cwsrc.29 | ~/.cwsrc configuration file]] setup '''and''' the SOLARENV environment variable is set to an already existing <tt>solenv</tt> directory of a previously checked out OOo tree, e.g. <code>export SOLARENV="$HOME/ooo/SRC680/src.m222/solenv"</code>, '''and''' <tt>PATH</tt> contains the <tt>solenv/bin</tt> directory, e.g. <code>export PATH="$SOLARENV/bin:$PATH"</code>, '''then''' the list of affected modules may be automatically obtained using
+
<code>
+
AFFECTED_MODULES="$(cwsquery -m src680 -c picom modules)"
+
</code>
+
 
+
You also may use <tt>cwsquery</tt> to obtain the current milestone of the CWS with
+
<code>
+
BASE_MILESTONE_TAG="SRC680_$(cwsquery -m src680 -c picom current)"
+
</code>
+
 
+
When scripting this it is a good idea to check the exit code of <tt>cwsquery</tt> commands in case your <tt>~/.cwsrc</tt> is broken or the environment prerequisites aren't met or the EIS database isn't reachable, so add the following after each <tt>cwsquery</tt> command:
+
<code>
+
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+
    echo 'cwsquery unsuccessful.'
+
    exit 1
+
fi
+
</code>
+
 
+
If you already have <tt>~/.cwsrc</tt> working and a milestone master build ready and want to work on a CWS based on that milestone see [[Tuning in to a CWS]], which offers a method that does not require to rebuild the entire tree.
