#REDIRECT [[‎Documentation/Building Guide/Getting the source]]
|
+
''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 source ==
+
 
+
The latest version of the source code can be downloaded as tarballs from [http://download.openoffice.org/ Download], see '''Source''' on the right.
+
 
+
The source is pretty big and has therefore been split into several files.
+
 
+

+

+
|-
+
|OOo_3.x.x_src_testautomation.tar.bz2
+
|automated test suite (optional)
+
|}
+
 
+
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 <strong>without</strong> the '''system''' 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.
+
 
+
== Checking out from Subversion ==
+
 
+
Checking 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.
+
