User:Pdefilippis/Compile OOo without X11

Description

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

The result

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:

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