# Apache OpenOffice<sup>®</sup>

The Apache OpenOffice project (AOO) provides a full featured office productivity suite based on open standards.
It is the continuation of the OpenOffice.org project.

For detailed information about Apache OpenOffice please visit the [Project Website](https://openoffice.apache.org/).

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

Currently supported platforms include:

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

OpenOffice is used by millions of users worldwide and with more than 398 million downloads it is one of the most successful open source projects.

# 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](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build will produce a setup version (e.g. setup program on Windows, dmg on macOS, rpm and deb packages on Linux) and an archived version.\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/...
