I never tried to use Xcode as an IDE with OpenOffice source code, so I can't tell; you should see if it can create a project from existing sources using an external build system. > Piecing it all together by looking through the source code with no > knowledge of a project of this size is going to be quite time > consuming so I was hoping someone could point me in the right > direction.

OpenOffice is a multi-platform project, so the system-dependent parts are plugged-in and not used directly through the whole source code; there is a system abstraction layer in the VCL module, these classes are used all over the source code, the system dependent part is confined in plugins and not exposed to the applications; the following documentation is rather outdated, but it explains the concept of VCL plugins: http://www.openoffice.org/gsl/ http://www.openoffice.org/gsl/vcl/plugins/index.html Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
