Hello, Please check this page [1] for information about debugging. You can use 'make <module>.clean && make <module> debug=t' if you're only working with a module of LibreOffice, otherwise, you should use --enable-debug. The time it takes to build will depend on your computer. For the first build, I would recommend you to run it overnight, using 'time build' to see how long it takes. You can find more information on how to speed up the build here [2]
Once the build is done we suggest you: * Start with solving some 'beginner' easyHacks [3] * Solve at least one 'interesting' easyHack * Start discussing your ideas with possible mentors, and preparing your proposal * Don't leave your proposal to the last day. Sooner is better. Also checking the GSoC ideas page first, and trying to choose the easyHacks related to your probable idea(s) might be a good idea [4], and perhaps also the page for ideas without a mentor yet [5]. If you ever get stuck (after doing the usual leg-work (re(search), try, debug etc.) yourself), please don't hesitate to ask your questions either on the #libreoffice-dev IRC channel, or on this mailing list.
