Nice to hear that. I'm also a Mathematician by trade but work as software-developer now. ;-) > Can you help me in getting started to OOo Math development? Well the first step to take (and maybe the greatest trouble) would be to set up a build environment for OOo. After all you can't build the library or debug anything if you can't build the project on your own. The respective documentation would be http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Building_vanilla http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Building_with_ooobuild Also http://tools.openoffice.org will be much useful to read. Especially you have to read the part about "Instructions for OpenOffice.org 2.0.x" (you don't want to build an old 1.1.x version :-) More specifically you have to read the information provided in http://tools.openoffice.org/build_env.html You can skip the part about Makefiles for now, since it is unlikely for you to add new source files in the very near future. If you like to have access to the source code (or different file versions) you likely also need to setup cvs. See http://tools.openoffice.org/source/browse/tools If you run into trouble with setting up the build environment the mailing list [email protected] will be the right place to ask for help. (I can't really help much with that task.) If the discussion is about Math itself it should take place in the list [email protected] Regards, Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
