HI: Before running 'configure', you may need to run 'autoconf' for creating the configure script.

Looking at the Windows instructions, if you are using the VisualStudio 2008 Express Edition, in trunk there are new configure flags for enabling building with ATL from the Windows Driver SDK; run ./configure --help Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina pgpS9JLCGdDuC.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, unfortunately I'm currently using the Windows OS (I really should switch to Linux). I've finished downloading the source code and am just waiting to wiki to get back up so I can start trying to build it.

While it gets fixed, you can checkout the source code. Are you working on Windows, Linux, MacOS? Depending on the system, you may have all the tools at hand to checkout source.

Re: Introduction and Question
Thanks so much for the replies! Unfortunately I do not know how to build and run AOO and can't seem to find out because the wiki link seems to be down.I'm not sure if this problem is only occuring for me, but I will attempt to build when wiki comes back up. Wiki's error message: A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading?

As Andrew told you, the first step is to checkout the source from trunk, and try to get your first build. You can find information on the Building Guide: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO I'd recommend you use git-svn instead of subversion. Also get a disk with enough space: the source tree is ca. 2.6 Gb, and it grows up to ca. 15 Gb in a non-pro build with symbols.

Currently, I am taking a class on Software Engineering, in which we are required to join an open source project and submit two "non-trivial modifications or additions" such as bug fixes or adding a feature over the next two months. Even though I have decent knowledge about programming, I actually have no experience in fixing bugs nor the knowledge of how to go in and submit patches that will fix/modify bugs/features on open source projects. Since this community seemed very friendly towards new users, I was wondering if someone would be willing to show me the ropes and possibly point out two novice-like, yet still non trivial, things I could possibly work on. I thank everyone for their time in reading this email and to anyone who is willing to reply. I am surprised that there have been no answers. As a first step, I recommend that you download the code and build it. Are you able to do that? After you can build AOO, next, pick an area of interest for you. and then perhaps look at the bug tracking system.
