Hi, Thanks for the link. I completed the build earlier, but i'm still not able to achieve the task listed here https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Tutorial_Start
1) This is the exact change i made in the file(Accelerators.xcu): (after line 123) <!-- Tutorial-1 --> <node oor:name="T_MOD1" oor:op="replace"> <prop oor:name="Command"><value xml:lang="x-no-translate">I10N SHORTCUTS - NO TRANSLATE</value> <value xml:lang="en-US">.uno:About</value> </prop> </node> <!-- --> 2) Now the next steps says "*You can copy your changed Accelerators.xcu file directly into the install directory (\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Accelerators.xcu).* - Im unable to find this file. When they say install directory, Im assuming they mean : opt/openoffice4/ So i tried the next option: *Or, you can build the module and rebuild the installer (this assumed you have previously fully built it, if not then just do the usual build --all -P4 from the instsetoo module).* Did this one i think. Just followed the building guide and got the software running earlier. So far so good(I think) *From the $SRCROOT\officecfg directory call "build", then "deliver" to send the changed Accelerators.xcu file to the solenv module.* Im assuming this is: source/aoo-trunk/main/officecfg . There is no option to call build or deliver (these are terminal commands here?) EDIT: i called "./bootstrap" and then "source LinuxX86Env.Set.sh<http://linuxx86env.set.sh/>" from main/ and then repeated the above step. It worked. Ouput: deliver -- version: 275594 Module 'officecfg' delivered successfully. 1 files copied, 247 files unchanged *Then change to the instsetoo module and call "build", then install.* I dont need to do "build -all" here do I? I just used "build", and it did so. 3)After installing when I run, the software and press ctrl+T nothing happens. Could you please tell me where I'm going wrong?
