How to build

Basically, just typing make 'install' will work fine for standard installations. It will fetch everything you need from the Internet while you sit back and drink a cup of coffee or take a nap. However, compiling jdk is the most tedious part (i.e. fetching the java source code and enabling the linux binary compatibility mode required by the linux version of jdk for bootstrapping). I'll assume you have already installed JDK 1.6.0 (/usr/ports/java/jdk16) via ports in this tutorial. If you want to build a developer version or other snapshot versions of OOo, just cd to different directory; /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3-devel or /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3-devel.
