Francois, note that this will help you compile the current development branch, if you want to build 3.3.0.4 -- and exactly that -- yourself, you need to draw you inspiration from http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Old_How_to_build. Building from tar.gz is not well documented, because most people that build from source, usually have a strong incentive to use git, and the few that actually use tar.gz are - maybe - distribution maintainers, which are pretty familiar with the subject matter to start with.
