Your Office Suite

ooo-build is a project focused on creating Better, Faster, and Freer Office Suite - Your Office Suite.

Developers

ooo-build sources are stored in git. To get them, you can use:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/ooo-build/ooo-build

If you want to learn more, please see the GettingIt pages.

Once the source has been checked out, ooo-build can be built in very nearly the usual manner:

cd ooo-build
./autogen.sh --with-distro=DISTRO
./download
make

where DISTRO is the basename of a file in the distro-configs directory, such as Debian, SUSE, or Ubuntu.

For more info please see the BuildingIt page.

Once your build finishes, it's time to do a developer installation, and start hacking:

make dev-install
# check that it works
cd build/install/program
source ooenv
./soffice

See the HackingIt page to see how you can do it.

For some debugging tips, please see the DebuggingIt page.

Once you have done a change that you are happy with, and that builds with ooo-build, contribute it back, we'll be happy to integrate it! Do:

# commit your changes to your local repository
git commit -a
# create the patch
git format-patch origin/master

and send the resulting patch to the ooo-build@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list.

More information can be found on the Contributing page.

ooo-build participates in the Google Summer of Code, please have a look at this year's ideas.
