-''Supplemental information about building NeoOffice and the NeoOffice development process''+
-===Build Instructions===+NeoOffice build instructions are [http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/build.php here].
- +
-Patrick Luby maintains the NeoOffice build instructions at +
-http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/build.php (instructions for 2.0 Alpha PowerPC [http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/earlyaccessbuild.php here]).+
- +
-Because building NeoOffice requires building [[OpenOffice.org_Mac_OS_X_%28X11%29|OpenOffice.org/X11]], you might find the [http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/build_680_X11.html OpenOffice.org 2.0.x for Mac OS X build instructions] helpful. The latest NeoOffice 2.0 build configuration information can be found by selecting the "download" link for the most current revision of <tt>[http://trinity.neooffice.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/neojava/README.txt neojava/README.txt]</tt> in cvsweb.+
- +
-====Prerequisites====+
- +
-See the [http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/build.php#req official build instructions] and, for NeoOffice 2.0 Alpha PowerPC, the latest <tt>[http://trinity.neooffice.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/neojava/README.txt neojava/README.txt]</tt> file in cvsweb.+
- +
-Note that while the '''minimum''' disk space requirements are 5.5 GB, for a full NeoOffice 2.0 build with all languages, you will need about 14 GB of disk space available (more for temp files).+
- +
-===Getting Help===+
- +
-[http://porting.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=mac Archives] of the [mailto:mac@porting.openoffice.org dev@porting.openoffice.org] mailing list are useful; you can search them for errors you encounter.+
- +
-You can also post questions in the [http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=9 NeoOffice Development] forum on trinity (and search it for errors), but be aware that the NeoOffice developers consider the process of compiling OpenOffice.org (even as a subset of NeoOffice) as a [http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=8775#8775 "trial by fire"] and little hand-holding is available. +
- +
-Experience has shown that those who are unable to work through the OpenOffice.org build will be unable to do the debugging and other work necessary when fixing an existing bug in OpenOffice.org or NeoOffice or adding new code/features. (Such "hand-holding" also cuts into the limited time the volunteer developers have to fix actual bugs and improve Mac OS X integration.)+
- +
-Building OpenOffice.org on the Mac (and by extension NeoOffice) is often difficult because there is always some change to the code for Linux or Windows that makes OOo no longer buildable on Mac OS X. Sun's engineers do not build on Mac OS X so changes for Windows or Linux can easily break the build on Mac OS X and go undetected. Also, Sun routinely does not merge Mac OS X fixes into the next build. A patch may be integrated in the OOo 1.1.3 code but then not merged into the OOo 1.1.4 code, and fixes from the OOo 1.1.x codeline will not appear in the OOo 2.x codeline.+
- +
-===Source Code===+
- +
-NeoOffice source code is available as a tarball on the latest release or milestone disk image; the latest code is always available in [http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/build.php cvs].+
- +
-You can also [http://trinity.neooffice.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/neojava/ browse the NeoOffice source online].+
- +
-====CVS tags====+
-''for use in the cvs checkout commands in the [http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/build.php NeoOffice Build Instructions]; in the format <tt>tag modulename</tt>'' +
- +
-A "release" tag checks out the code of a full release or milestone version (e.g., NeoOffice 1.2 Alpha) as available on planamesa.com but '''does not include any subsequent patches or bugfixes'''. A "stable branch" tag will check out the latest code for an active branch, including any code delivered in any released patches and any code recently committed to fix bugs (a "stable branch" that is current may have future milestones or releases based on it, e.g. the 1.2 Branch will be the basis of NeoOffice 1.2 Beta and NeoOffice 1.2 "final", and perhaps even a "point" release like NeoOffice 1.2.1, at some point). A "development" tag is the site of ongoing future development and '''may not even build''' yet. You can find additional "legacy" tags by [http://trinity.neooffice.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/neojava/ browsing cvsweb].+

- +
-So, if your build is still in the OOo phase of the build, you don't need to stop your build. Instead, you can just cd into the Neo/J vcl and setup2 directories and invoke "cvs update -d".+
- +
-Of course, if you build is already done, you will need to delete the "build.neo_vcl_patch" and "build.neo_setup2_patch" patch files, cvs update the neojava directory, and invoke "make all".+
