Hi Francois,

here's where I have gone to get started:

       http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build

You'll need to install git to get the source, so don't worry about manually downloading files. 
Anyway, it's all explained in the link,

               http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build

Hope this helps!

Francois, note that this will help you compile the current development
branch, if you want to build 3.3.0.4 -- and exactly that -- yourself,
you need to
draw you inspiration from
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Old_How_to_build.

Building from tar.gz is not well documented, because most people that
build from source, usually have a strong incentive to use git,
and the few that actually use tar.gz are - maybe -  distribution
maintainers, which are pretty familiar with the subject matter to
start with.

All the best,
Dave

Hi!

Now that LibreOffice 3.3.0.4 has been released, I'd like to have a go
at building it from source.

How does one install LibreOffice from the source tarballs ? Are there
some instructions somewhere ?

There are 21 different files such as "libreoffice-artwork-3.3.0.4.tar.bz2"
Do they all need to be downloaded ? And then, what should I do ?
Should they be combined in a giant directory or processed separately ?

I'm a little confused by the sheer number of files to download. Wouldn't
it be easier to just provide one giant archive, like it is done for the
different binary platforms ?

Forgive me if this list is not the place to ask this sort of questions,
but the only installation instructions available on the web site are for
the binary packages and the user list wasn't too helpful either.
