From Source Code

If you want to build KWord from source code, you should:

Procedure A.2.

  1. 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.

  2. Download the KOffice source file into a temporary directory.

  3. If the filename ends in .src.rpm (Red Hat® Package Management file), the source code for KOffice can be installed with:

    $ rpm-Ufilename

    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

  4. The source code for KOffice should now be installed on your system.
