35*8f9bb1aaSmseidelBuilding Apache OpenOffice
36*8f9bb1aaSmseidel==========================
37*8f9bb1aaSmseidel
38*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    Apache OpenOffice is a big project and depends on several other external libraries.
39*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    The list of prerequisites varies for the different platforms.
40*8f9bb1aaSmseidel
41*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    A comprehensive and complete building guide can be found in the project wiki under
42*8f9bb1aaSmseidel
43*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
44*8f9bb1aaSmseidel
45*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    With having all prerequisites in place you can simply run
46*8f9bb1aaSmseidel
47*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    cd aoo/main
48*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    autoconf
49*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    ./configure <configure_switches>
50*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    ./bootstrap
51*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    source *.set.sh
52*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    cd instsetoo_native
53*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    build --all
54*8f9bb1aaSmseidel
55*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    Note that building OpenOffice can take several hours.
56*8f9bb1aaSmseidel
57*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    The default build will produce a setup version (e.g. setup program on Windows, dmg on macOS,
58*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    rpm and deb packages on Linux) and an archived version. The output can be found in the
59*8f9bb1aaSmseidel    <output> directory in instsetoo_native/<output_dir>/Apache_OpenOffice/...
