Description

The purpose of this page is to give detailed instructions on how to build OpenOffice.org on a Mac without depending on X11 to run it. Since getting rid of the dependances with Xlibs is a lengthy process, the result so far does not give us the possibility of running the fully fledged OOo as we know it. Therefore these instructions will probably be interesting to somebody wanting to work on the native port of OOo for Mac OS X rather than an end user.

The result: svdem

After compiling the code, the only runnable binary will be a program called svdem. Its purpose is to help developers test their changes in the code. So far svdem handles natively:

- drawing an initial content in the window (lines + colors).
- resizing/redrawing the window.
- moving the window.
- creating dots with the mouse by pointing and clicking in the window.
- closing the window and quitting the app when closing.

Goal

The ultimate goal is to implement/convert all of the Xlibs function calls to Carbon function calls. Of course this is not just the matter of switching the calls but understanding the differences between Xlibs and Carbon and transform the code accordingly.

Step-by-step Process

  • Downloading the source code

We use CVS to manage the source code, so to get it you need to open a Terminal window, and do the following:

For Bash do:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs
For Tcsh do:
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs
Then:
cvs login
Enter the password: anoncvs
cvs -z4 co -r SRC680_m163 OpenOffice
