[dev] Newbe
Hi, Have some programming background from way back yonder (Fortran, C, Pascal, C++, VBA) and would like to help - although very rusty! Have just built OpenOffice under Ubuntu, but have run out of knowledge in how to install it (not a Linux guru). Will continue to peruse the docs out there.. May take some time for me to get up to speed, although I have plenty time at the moment.. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Seems I ran out of knowledge at the last step, which was how to install the Deb files. All fixed and now up and running DEV003!

[dev] Re: Newbe
Thanks for the help! All now fully installed and up and running. I'll have a look at the links you have provided and see if I can help in any way. - Original Message - From: "eric b" Newsgroups: gmane.comp.openoffice.devel.general To: Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2010 2:38 PM Subject: Re: Newbe Le 4 sept. 10 à 20:11, Alan Griffiths a écrit : Hi, Hi, Have some programming background from way back yonder (Fortran, C, Pascal, C++, VBA) and would like to help - although very rusty! So far, C++ is ~ 90% of OOo source code. Have just built OpenOffice under Ubuntu, but have run out of knowledge in how to install it (not a Linux guru). You'll find everything in instsetoo_native cd instsetoo_native find . -name *.tar.gz => there will be one archive containing all the .deb 1) create a folder 2) put the .tar.gz inside 3) decompress the archive 4) cd in the dir containing all the .deb cp desktop-integration/* .# notice the . sudo dpkg -i *.deb And you should be done Will continue to peruse the docs out there.. May take some time for me to get up to speed, although I have plenty time at the moment.. If you are interested to dive into OOo code, and fix some bugs, or implement new features, I invite you to have a look on the OOo wiki.
