David, did you really understand his question ? He wants to build OO.o from cvs or source tarballs, NOT from the prebuilt sun binaries. For that he needs a PKGBUILD. And ofcourse he cant use the arch/abs one since it uses the prebuilt sun binary. Having made that clear, Hussam, I suggest you go through the frugalware's FrugalBuild for openoffice - just use it as a reference, dont copy paste it, since they have macros like Ffoo and Fbar. http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=frugalware-current;a=tree;f=/source/xapps/openoffice.org HTH, Rohan. -- Rohan Dhruva Proud GNU/Linux user.
