No, of course ;-) linkoo was invented for this, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Hacking#Linkoo_.26_Limitations for a rough description. It resides in solenv/bin . Basically - you install your build somehow (be it from an installation set, or using ooinstall), and run linkoo over your build tree & the installation set. Then when you compile your change, you'll see it immediately after the OOo restart. And talking of ooinstall, OOo can be installed even without making the installation set - but it's quite a hacky way. ooo-build has 'ooinstall' for that - see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/ooo-build/bin/ooinstall?view=markup Unfortunately - it hasn't been up-streamed yet. > Doesn't OOo run from the compilation target directory? Not sure what do you mean?
