35Building Apache OpenOffice
36===========================
37
Herbert Dürr84d208f2012-03-20 07:38:18 +000038 Apache OpenOffice is a big project and depends on several other external libraries.
Matthias Seidel8d04f842018-05-29 22:15:50 +000039 The list of prerequisites varies for the different platforms.
Jürgen Schmidtd75fd022012-02-22 14:00:49 +000040
Herbert Dürr84d208f2012-03-20 07:38:18 +000041 A comprehensive and complete building guide can be found in the project wiki under
Jürgen Schmidtd75fd022012-02-22 14:00:49 +000042
Matthias Seidel89c91962017-04-14 11:24:55 +000043 https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
Jürgen Schmidtd75fd022012-02-22 14:00:49 +000044
45 With having all prerequisites in place you can simply run
46
Herbert Dürr5da6db32012-03-23 07:15:32 +000047 cd aoo/main
Herbert Dürr84d208f2012-03-20 07:38:18 +000048 autoconf
Jürgen Schmidtd75fd022012-02-22 14:00:49 +000049 ./configure <configure_switches>
50 ./bootstrap
Andre Fischer5a98c862012-08-17 07:32:51 +000051 source *.set.sh
52 cd instsetoo_native
Herbert Dürr84d208f2012-03-20 07:38:18 +000053 build --all
Jürgen Schmidtd75fd022012-02-22 14:00:49 +000054
Andre Fischer5a98c862012-08-17 07:32:51 +000055 Note that building OpenOffice can take several hours.

Matthias Seidel8d04f842018-05-29 22:15:50 +000057 The default build will produce a setup version (e.g. setup program on Windows, dmg on macOS,
Matthias Seidelc6624f22018-11-14 16:14:40 +000058 rpm and deb packages on Linux) and an archived version. The output can be found in the
