33Building Apache OpenOffice
34===========================
35
36    Apache OpenOffice is a big project and depends on several other external libraries.
37    The list of prerequisites varies for the different platforms.
38
39    A comprehensive and complete building guide can be found in the project wiki under
40
41    http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
42
43    With having all prerequisites in place you can simply run
44
45    cd aoo/main
46    autoconf
47    ./configure <configure_switches>
48    ./bootstrap
49    source *.set.sh
50    cd instsetoo_native
51    build --all
52
53    Note that building OpenOffice can take several hours.
54
55    The default build will produce a setup version (e.g. setup program on windows, dmg on Mac OS,
56    rpm and deb packages on Linux, pkg packages on Solaris) and an archived version. The output
57    can be found in the <output> directory in instsetoo_native/<output_dir>/Apache_OpenOffice/...
