I really don't know where to start. I'm looking to find the latest version of OpenOffice that I can install on my Apple G5 Tower, which is has a PPC processor not an Intel processor. I've looked at doing a build on my machine to get latest but got a little lost. I don't mind doing a build, but need simple step by step to do the build.

There is a detailed Building Guide at

I am not certain of Mac PPC support. It may be that you will have to edit this into the codebase.
There is some discussion on PPC support at

OOo 3.2 was the last version for PPC Macs. Here is a direct link to download it:
