Hello! I've started to hack into OO code base. I found pretty interesting guide here https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Hacking and tried to do my first hack. I've changed code as offered in article, and build vcl module (partial build from vcl directory). But nothing changed in OO... After digging into build.pl and documentation I found out that I should cd to instsetoo_native and issue build command from there (w/o --all switch). This module installs all executable files in installed/install directory (as I previously run configure script with --with-package-format="installed").
As a result I have question and suggestion :-) 1. Question is, if there is only one way to launch OO after partial build is to build inside instsetoo_native? Build inside this dir take same time as it completely recreates all directories and copies all executable and library files (despite I changed only couple of libs) 2. Suggestion is to mention requirement to build inside instsetoo_native in partial build section in Building Guide (https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO#Partial_Builds). There is link to install sets creation but it so inconspicuous, so I noticed it after investigating installation process myself. (I cannot find link to edit wiki and cannot create account to login to wiki, as there is no link to account creation...)
