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- rpm and deb packages on Linux) and an archived version.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