Building Open Office Attempt 1 of Many

I was attempting to build Open Office recently unfortunately it has not gone well, at least not yet. I tried building on one of the CDot computers, this did not work and I couldn't figure out why. To check out the source code I was using the nLogTime bash script that my professor Fardad provided so that I would know how long it took to complete the checkout. This script also takes the output and saves it into an output log. Unfortunatly when checking out I didn't check the output log. I assumed that any errors would still be shown on the screen, so no errors meant the svn must have finished checking everything out.

This did not happen, after hours of trying to figure out why my build didn't work I decided to check the output log and there was an svn error, which makes sense that I wasn't able to build it. The error said there was no more room on the device, so I tried working on another machine, I got the exact same error so I will have to look into that tomorrow when I am in school. If anyone else had this problem I would greatly appreciate if you told me how you fixed it.

Instead of waiting around I checked out the code on my local machine, and while the build seems to be working for now it sure is taking an extremly long time, mostly because I rarely boot into Ubuntu and I need to install a lot of different packages/updates. Hopefully I'll have it fully built on my home machine before Thursday night, and hopefully I can do the build on the CDot machines before Friday.
