If you want to build KOffice from source code, you should:
Ensure your computer has all the required software installed and in working condition (excluding KOffice of course). You can find the system requirements by following this link: System Requirements.
Download the KOffice source file into a temporary folder.
If the filename ends in .src.rpm
(Red Hat® Package Management file), the source code for KOffice can
be installed with:
$
rpm
-U
filename
If the filename ends in .src.tar.gz
or .src.tgz
(a tarball file),
the source code for KOffice can be installed with:
$
tar
-xzvf
filename
The source code for KOffice should now be installed on your system.
