    Apache OpenOffice is a very large project with many components and mainly
    implemented in C++ but also in Java, Perl, Python and other languages.

        Microsoft Windows
        macOS (OS X)
        Linux variants
        FreeBSD
        OS/2

    OpenOffice is used by millions of users worldwide and with more than 250 million
    downloads it is one of the most successful open source projects.

Getting the latest sources via Subversion
=========================================

    You can always checkout the latest source via subversion using the following
    command:

    svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk aoo

    For further information visit https://openoffice.apache.org/source.html

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 under

    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    rpm and deb packages on Linux, pkg packages on Solaris) and an archived version. The output
    can be found in the <output> directory in instsetoo_native/<output_dir>/Apache_OpenOffice/...
