Hi Jerry, once we will have the source code moved over from the old openoffice.org repository, we will try to build it in the new environment. For the time being I assume that the old build instructions at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide are where we should start on all platforms. If you will try to do a first build from the Apache repo on Solaris, we can discuss problems and their solutions here on the list. We have at least one developer who has built OOo on Solaris (Intel) regularily, so I'm pretty optimistic that we will get that going. It's great that you want to take an active role and help with maintaining the Solaris port. Excellent! I don't know if you have built OOo already on Solaris. In case not, doing it in the current (openoffice.org) environment would be a good preparation for what will come next. You could get the current source by cloning the Mercurial repo at http://hg.services.openoffice.org/OOO340 and follow the build instructions at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Solaris Please ask here in case you get stuck anywhere.
