| # Building Apache OpenOffice |
| |
| Apache OpenOffice is a big project and depends on several other external libraries.\ |
| The list of prerequisites varies for the different platforms. |
| |
| A comprehensive and complete building guide can be found in the [Project Wiki](https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO). |
| |
| With having all prerequisites in place you can simply run |
| ``` |
| cd aoo/main |
| autoconf |
| ./configure <configure_switches> |
| ./bootstrap |
| source *.Set.sh |
| cd instsetoo_native |
| build --all |
| ``` |
| Note that building OpenOffice can take several hours. |
| |
| The default build will produce a setup version (e.g. setup program on Windows, dmg on macOS, rpm and deb packages on Linux) and an archived version.\ |
| The output can be found in the <output> directory in instsetoo_native/<output_dir>/Apache_OpenOffice/... |
