Question: How can I install my build in a separate directory without

the package system? Is it possible to run OO directly from the source tree ?
You can use the following commands to unpack the DEBs and copy
everything to an installation directory, note that you may want to
exclude the openoffice.org-*-integration_* packages to not clutter up
your desktop, so move them away first.
mkdir temppath
cd temppath
for x in PathToDebs/*.deb; do alien --to-tgz --generate $x; done
mkdir YourInstPath
cp -av */opt/openoffice.org2.0/* YourInstPath
Then edit YourInstPath/program/bootstraprc to let UserInstallation point
to a path not interferring with your work environment. Do this before
running OOo the first time.
If building RPMs,
ftp://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/developer/install_scripts/
has some scripts to install RPMs in userland.
