I guess you place your driver in connectivity. So in that module you 
find a file named prj/build.lst that is read when call the "build" 
command. But for the start you could simply go in your folder and call 
dmake. Each driver has a xcu file which must be "deliver"ed. Which files 
are needed to copy/deliver is defined in prj/d.lst
So when you have built your driver with dmake you must call deliver.
After that go to the module scp2 and call "build" and deliver again.
Then you have to build the module instsetoo_native and voila your OOo 
ist to install.
Below follows a simple list of todo's:
1. Create the driver files (Driver,Connection,Statement,ResultSet,...)
2. Create the xcu and xml file, take a look at the other drivers for 
inspiration ;-)
3. dmake
4. Adjust d.lst to fit your new driver
5. deliver
6. Search for the word macab or jdbc in the module scp2 and create the 
same for your new driver
7. build
8. deliver
9. go to instsetoo_native and build
10. Install your new OOo and enjoy your new driver.
11. Debug issues ;-)
