This tutorial will assume a stock Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) system as a starting point.

Obtaining ooo-build

One may obtain the stable 2.0.2 version of ooo-build via CVS with the following commands:

export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
cvs login
cvs -z3 checkout -P ooo-build
cvs update -Pd -r ooo-build-2-0-2

You should then enter the ooo-build directory and run ./autogen.sh --with-distro=Ubuntu. Most likely you'll also want to add the --disable-kde flag (unless you're using Kubuntu).

Additional Required Packages

Packages may be obtained as follows:

 sudo apt-get install package_name [additional_package(s)]

To obtain the source, you need:

  • cvs

To complete autogen.sh, you need:

  • automake1.9
  • build-essential
  • libpam0g-dev
  • libpng12-dev
  • flex
  • bison
  • libgtk2.0-dev


  • libmono-dev
  • [please help populate the rest of this list!]

Failed patches

Some of the patches listed in ooo-build/patches/src680/apply may not apply successfully. You can try to comment them out in the apply file, but this is an experimental solution...

Tips

A shell script like the one below will alert your attention upon completion of the quite lengthy build process. Run it after ./download completes in place of make.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting 'make' wrapper..."
cd ~/ooo-build
make
echo "\n\nCompilation finished."
mplayer -really-quiet ~/Music/My_Music_File.mp3

Caveats

Don't do something silly like execute udatedb while make is in progress. This will result in locking the filesystem as read-only and cause the build to fail.
