Hello, I would like to thank Oliver-Rainer and Rob for their help. I have a few more doubts. Once the changes are made to source files the make and build commands have to be run on terminal to produce the modified openOffice. Some commands especially "build" takes a lot of time to run. Is there a workaround for this? Something like which would compile only the changed files and append the changes to installed openoffice?
Also, I would like to know how to use breakpoints and other debugging tools during execution? I thank you for your support. Please help!
