I am thinking of trying a Mac OS X dev build to figure out the unwanted
warnings that are generally reported and carry on to try and see if I can
fix the rest. Definitely not an easy task though, very new to libreoffice
source :).

Hello tml, I work on a licensed library in one of my organization products
that renders office and PDF documents just fine. But lately, we have been
getting several requests to support open document formats as well, and we
are considering/evaluating libreoffice as our solution if it works fairly
well and I am trying to see if I can contribute and fix the issues related
to at least fixing basic .odt,.odp and .ods viewing. Thanks for the info on
the warnings :).

Yep, that is more or less what I see too, and if you seriously plan to
work on this, you need to figure out what causes that. (Are you doing this
just out of personal interest, or is there some organisation backing you?
Perhaps even commercial interest, which would be a good thing?)

Also, note that many of the warnings that are displayed in Xcode show up
also when running (a developer build of) LibreOffice on a desktop OS. They
are often misleading and not really worth being displayed as warnings. I
think. But our codebase is so vast that people seldom bother removing
pointless warning messages. Also, there is the "yes, yes, I know, this is a
sign of something that we really should fix so let's not remove that
warning" phenomenon.
