When they say install directory, Im assuming they mean : opt/openoffice4/ Sadly, this information is outdated. So i tried the next option: *Or, you can build the module and rebuild the installer (this assumed you have previously fully built it, if not then just do the usual build --all -P4 from the instsetoo module).* Did this one i think. Just followed the building guide and got the software running earlier. So far so good(I think) *From the $SRCROOT\officecfg directory call build, then deliver to send the changed Accelerators.xcu file to the solenv module.* Im assuming this is: source/aoo-trunk/main/officecfg. There is no option to call build or deliver (these are terminal commands here?) The module postprocess/ has to be built, too. So, do cd officecfg build deliver cd ../postprocess build deliver cd ../instsetoo_native build And install the new set of packages (I assume you are working on Linux). The part that is missing from the Wiki page seems to be that several XCU files have to be combined into main.xcd (that is done in postprocess/). You can skip building a new installation set cd ../instsetoo_native build and just copy main.xcd into your installed office like cd .. # (to get back to main/) cp solver/410/platform/xml/main.xcd office-installation/share/registry/main.xcd where platform the content of the $INPATH environment variable and office-installation is something like /opt/openoffice4/ If you succeed then we can think about updating the Wiki page. -Andre EDIT: i called ./bootstrap and then source LinuxX86Env.Set.shhttp://linuxx86env.set.sh/ from main/ and then repeated the above step. It worked. Ouput: deliver -- version: 275594 Module 'officecfg' delivered successfully. 1 files copied, 247 files unchanged *Then change to the instsetoo module and call build, then install.* I dont need to do build -all here do I? I just used build, and it did so. 3)After installing when I run, the software and press ctrl+T nothing happens. Could you please tell me where I'm going wrong?

Also, if possible could you direct me to modules using c/c++ specifically? Im open to learning new languages, but to start with I would prefer working in a familiar environment. Hi Pranet, Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project! I'd recommend taking a look at our New Volunteer orientation pages for some useful background on the project and how it works: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/ The page on getting started with development is the key one: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-development.html That will get you started on downloading the source code and doing your first build of OpenOffice. Getting a build running on Linux is pretty easy. Windows takes a bit more effort to set up the pre-reqs. (I've never done a Mac build, but I hear it is easy as well). Either way, give it a try and post further messages if you get stuck.

Do I need to make a full build for the whole system in order to run my test? A full build to play around with the Writer (module sw in folder main/) is not needed. But your AOO build environment have to be setup and available as for a full build. And you need an installation package which corresponds to the source code revision of your AOO build environment. Once you have setup your AOO build environment you can just perform a debug build of module sw. Afterwards you have to copy the created libraries into the program folder of your installation. Do not hesitate to ask for further and deeper information or concrete steps for your environment on your way to play around with the Writer module. Best regards, Oliver.

Call for testing on mail merge
Hi, I found I cannot connect to any smtp server with any correct settings. Does anyone use mail merge successfully on the latest version? I'm not sure it is a bug on this function. Let's start to test on it now. -- Best Regards, Steve Yin

Schön ist es natürlich, dass sich immer mehr Leute für das Original entscheiden ;-) . Aber einmal ernsthaft: Derartige Statistiken sind nur von einer sehr begrenzten Aussagekraft, was an den Besonderheiten (Freiheiten) Freier Software und deren Distribution liegt. Außerdem bin der Meinung, wir sollten nicht die Dummheit begehen, in gleicher Weise in Konkurrenzkategorien zu denken, wie manche bei LibreOffice. Damit würden wir nämlich die Erwartung des Publikums - unserer potentiellen Nutzer - enttäuschen. Angesichts einiger wesentlicher gemeinsamer Ziele und gemeinsamer Werte sollten wir vielmehr, soweit es geht, einem kooperativen Denken verhaftet bleiben.

Re: Mehr AOO-downloads bei Heise
Hallo Jürgen, *, From: Jürgen Schmidt [mailto:jogischm...@gmail.com] ja genau, denn wenn man es mal neutral betrachtet läuft das LO Projekt doch eigentlich ganz gut, finde ich zumindest. Und die meisten Leute fühlen sich wohl in ihrer Umgebung, weil sie von vielen politischen Spielchen hinter den Türen nichts mitbekommen. Und vermutlich viele Community Leute durchaus an einer engeren Zusammenarbeit interessiert wären, um gemeinsam ein besseres Produkt zu bekommen. Ja, da steckt Dein Finger in der genau richtigen Wunde. Konkret gesagt bin ich immer wieder erstaunt wie sich _selbst langjährig gestandene Leute_ aus der Community täuschen lassen, wer zu wessen Nutzen bei LO die Strippen zieht. Ich für mich persönlich konzentriere mich nur auf AOO und versuche mich nicht zu ärgern ;-) bin aber offen für jede Collaboration. Mir wurde vor wenigen Wochen der Boden quasi unter den Füssen weggezogen wo ich merkte das die Entwicklung selbst in Details in eine Richtung weist die ich bisher nicht für möglich gehalten hätte. Seitdem bemühe ich mich um 'Realpolitik', die jüngst begründete Kooperation der PrOOo-Box mit dem Sidux e.V. ist ein erster konkreter Schritt diesbezüglich.
