Thanks Tom, but this page is not applicable to my case: these instructions
are for the binary Linux packages and I'd like to build LibreOffice from the
source code files such as:

http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/libreoffice-artwork-3.3.0.4.tar.bz2

Additionally, I'm not running Linux.

The best improvement would be a new page explaining:
- how to download and combine the 21 (!) different .tar.bz2 source code
  archives
- how to build LibreOffice from these files
