+Office development kit - implements the first step on the way to the LibreOffice SDK tarball.
+
+Part of the SDK; to build you need to add --enable-odk.
+
+
+Testing the examples:
+=====================
+
+* Go to instdir/sdk (Don't try directly in odk/)
+
+* See <https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/install.html> how to set up the SDK.
+
+** When asked about it during configuration, tell the SDK to do automatic
+ deployment of the example extensions that get built.
+
+* In a shell set up for SDK development, build (calling "make") and test
+ (following the instructions given at the end of each "make" invocation) each
+ of the SDK's examples/ sub-directories.
+
+** An example script to build (though not test) the various examples in batch
+ mode is
+
+ find examples \( -type d -name nativelib -prune \) -o \
+ \( -name Makefile -a -print -a \( -execdir make \; -o -quit \) \)
+
+ (Note that one of the example extensions asks you to accept an example
+ license on stdin during deployment.)
