more on compiling

[Greg Hamilton]

If you got the original source from CVS and you still have the source 
and build directories in place you could probably do something like 
'cvs update -d' to pick up the latest changes, then run 'make' which 
will compile only the files which have been added or modified. This is 
usually a lot quicker than a complete rebuild.

Alternatively wait until somebody else makes available a PPC binary 
build of OO . The imminent YDL update is based on Fedora and should 
have an up-to-date build of OO.

Or you could just install Debian.

apt-get install openoffice.org.

Oh happy days.
