Hey,
I'm a computer science student and want to get into the libre office
development. I went on to IRC # libre office channel for sometime and got
help regarding the git repository cloning and have fetched the source code.
Welcome on board! :-)
I already have Libreoffice installed on my ubuntu 10.04 system using PPA;
so if I try to buld it libre office from the source which I just fetched
will it affect the existing installation of libre office.
No, doesn't necessarily have to ...
Do I need to remove the pre exesting libre office before I start building
from source ?
... and no, not at all.
You can have your own (development/debugging) instance of LibO running from
the fetched source tree. Issuing 'make dev-install' after building with 'make'
will create such instance for you, it will then live in
/wherever/libo/source/tree/is/install/program/
