Do the following: 1) Get the sources: apt-get source openoffice.org 2) Get the packages needed to compile it: su -c 'apt-get build-dep openoffice.org' 3) Go in the directory: cd openoffice.org-2.0.3 4) Build-it: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc ... Unfortunately, it doesn't work. :-/ I get a lot of errors: ... dpkg-genchanges: warning: package openoffice.org-l10n-cy in control file but not in files list dpkg-genchanges: warning: package openoffice.org-l10n-ko in control file but not in files list dpkg-genchanges: warning: package openoffice.org-l10n-fr in control file but not in files list dpkg-genchanges: warning: package openoffice.org-l10n-hr in control file but not in files list dpkg-genchanges: warning: package openoffice.org-l10n-ar in control file but not in files list dpkg-genchanges: warning: package openoffice.org-l10n-ja in control file but not in files list dpkg-genchanges: not including original source code in upload dpkg-buildpackage: binary and diff upload (original source NOT included) If you find the way to get through this tell me, because I also would like to compile it. :) Regards -- Emmanuel Fleury | Office: 211 Associate Professor, | Phone: +33 (0)5 40 00 35 24 LaBRI, Domaine Universitaire | Fax: +33 (0)5 40 00 66 69 351, Cours de la Libération | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 33405 Talence Cedex, France | URL: http://www.labri.fr/~fleury -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
