358f9bb1aaSmseidelBuilding Apache OpenOffice
368f9bb1aaSmseidel==========================
378f9bb1aaSmseidel
388f9bb1aaSmseidel    Apache OpenOffice is a big project and depends on several other external libraries.
398f9bb1aaSmseidel    The list of prerequisites varies for the different platforms.
408f9bb1aaSmseidel
418f9bb1aaSmseidel    A comprehensive and complete building guide can be found in the project wiki under
428f9bb1aaSmseidel
438f9bb1aaSmseidel    https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
448f9bb1aaSmseidel
458f9bb1aaSmseidel    With having all prerequisites in place you can simply run
468f9bb1aaSmseidel
478f9bb1aaSmseidel    cd aoo/main
488f9bb1aaSmseidel    autoconf
498f9bb1aaSmseidel    ./configure <configure_switches>
508f9bb1aaSmseidel    ./bootstrap
51225906d5SMatthias Seidel    source *.Set.sh
528f9bb1aaSmseidel    cd instsetoo_native
538f9bb1aaSmseidel    build --all
548f9bb1aaSmseidel
558f9bb1aaSmseidel    Note that building OpenOffice can take several hours.
568f9bb1aaSmseidel
578f9bb1aaSmseidel    The default build will produce a setup version (e.g. setup program on Windows, dmg on macOS,
588f9bb1aaSmseidel    rpm and deb packages on Linux) and an archived version. The output can be found in the
598f9bb1aaSmseidel    <output> directory in instsetoo_native/<output_dir>/Apache_OpenOffice/...
