Getting the source

Source code The source code can be downloaded as tarballs eg. here. It is huge, so it was split to several files: OOo_2.1.0_src_core.tar.bz2 - the necessary part for each build, the other tarballs depend on this one. OOo_2.1.0_src_binfilter.tar.bz2 - the filters for old StarOffice formats. OOo_2.1.0_src_l10n.tar.bz2 - translations to other languages than English and German. OOo_2.1.0_src_sdk.tar.bz2 - OOo SDK (Software Development Kit). OOo_2.1.0_src_system.tar.bz2 - libraries that usually are on a standard (Linux) system and it's not necessary to build own version. For a full build you need them all. For development, src_core is usually all you need. Download them to one directory and unpack them. Information how to checkout from CVS follows. Vanilla up-stream You might be interested particulary in the Get the source code section in the build guide (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> OpenOffice2 The tool to browse project source code online has some additional hints. If you want just to test development releases, you can download already compiled builds from [1]. List of available Mac builds is in Mac OS X Development Builds. ooo-build There are loads of versions of OO.o, and several choices of branch, with multiple outstanding patch sets. I recommend you build from up-stream CVS HEAD milestones (SRC680 milestones), with patch sets to make them easier to build from [2] The very latest ooo-build (a small ~1.5Mb build wrapper) can be got from CVS thus: svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/ooo-build/trunk ooo-build Note: You are going to need to download an additional ~150Mb of compressed source, and have ~3Gb of space to unpack and build it in.
