I am not sure how hard would that be but you can easily setup an environment using a virtualbox with whatever os you need (debian, suse, fedora, or... gulp... windows) and just compile there.
Sure virtual environments are not the best location to do your compilation, however it will get you the basic toolkit set and version that you need. Another more sofisticated option is to use vagrant. Vagrant is aimed for developers that want to have an encapsulating environment, and portable (able to move it between different distros). It does uses virtualization but in a different fashion. http://www.vagrantup.com/ On 9/1/14, Kay Schenk <kay.sch...@gmail.com> wrote: > OpenOffice has been approached by students for a one semester project > (approximately 96 hours) involving an open source project, see the > following thread-- > http://markmail.org/message/2uxfdm2tjh7ei2zl > > They are using Ubuntu. > > Recently, we had a post regarding broken desktop integration for debian. > See this thread at: > > http://markmail.org/message/t5i57kr4z4bfffyp > > After reading this one, I started some research on why/how to integrate > freedesktop.org into debian (a system I personally do not use).
