What is wrong on the wiki page? The described steps work for many others. OOo 
is very big piece of software. It is hard to keep it buildable on all known 
platforms.

The build of ooo-build git master is sometimes broken by less tested commits. 
The branches are usually much more stable.

I am sorry but we cannot help you if you do not provide more details about 
your particular problems (build log, ...).
