Getting the needed

Ok here we go, the following parts are needed to get the OpenOffice?.org to be built on a Slamd64-11.0 platform:

- Slamd64-12.1 linux --> get it here:  http://www.slamd64.com

- Dropline GNOME 64bit --> get it from here:  http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/

- ooo-build --> get it from here:  http://go-oo.org/packages

After you got all this, proceed with the next step :)

Preparing the enviroment

Install Slamd64-12.1, install Dropline GNOME, after that you need to begin tweaking your system and its by doing the following:

Step 1:

Install the java development kit, get it from here:

 http://anorien.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/slamd64/slamd64-12.1/extra/jdk/jdk-6u6-x86_64_slamd64-1.tgz

Step 2:

Install apache-ant which you can get here:

 http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

See instructions on how to install it.

Step 3:

We need some perl modules:

In a virtual terminal issue the following command as root:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell

# install Archive::Zip

Do the same for the module XML::Parser

# install XML::Parser

# exit

Building it from source

Soon arrives.
