Hello i have finally succeded in building and installing oo on ubuntu, i
have tried to do the hack tutorials but i run into the same problem.
The Tutorial
Start <https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Tutorial_Start>  i can build the
code and install it, but when i start oo nothing changes. i have tried to
delete the .OpenOffice directory in my home folder.
But my newly built module does not get included, in short i have follwed
the tutorial and get no warnings or errors, but the final openOffice
program does not change.

That tutorial works for me. In a simplified and not optimized form, this is what you do:

1) You have an already built OpenOffice tree (I recommend configuring with --with-package-format=installed to avoid the generally useless step of installing from DEB packages; but this is optional).

2) You edit the file officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu and add these lines around line 123:
  <node oor:name="T_MOD1" oor:op="replace">
   <prop oor:name="Command">
    <value xml:lang="en-US">.uno:About</value>
   </prop>
  </node>

3) You rebuild (re-run "source LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh" if needed, then cd instsetoo_native, then build --all)

4) You run your new OpenOffice (either you install the regenerated DEB files, or you run main/instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/Apache_OpenOffice/installed/install/en-US/openoffice4/program/soffice if you configured with --with-package-format=installed )

5) If you open Writer and press CTRL+T the About dialog appears, as you defined in step 2.

Are these the same steps you are following, especially reinstalling the packages (as instructed in the tutorial) or re-running the built ("installed") version? And if something needs to be clarified on the wiki page, just ask for an account and we'll create one for you.

Regards,
  Andrea.
