Source

ooo-build sources are stored in Git, more detailed instructions are available, but to simply check out the latest version of ooo-build:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/ooo-build/ooo-build

Registered developers should use the following command to enable writing to the repository:

git clone ssh://[username@]git.freedesktop.org/git/ooo-build/ooo-build

Once the source has been checked out, ooo-build can be built in very nearly the usual manner:

cd ooo-build
./autogen.sh --with-distro=DISTRO
./download
make

where DISTRO is the basename of a file in the distro-configs directory, such as Debian, SUSE, or Ubuntu.

See the Wiki for more information.
