Apache OpenOffice (AOO)
=======================

    The Apache OpenOffice project provdes a full featured office productivity suite
    based on open standards and is the continuation of the OpenOffice.org project.

Incubation Disclaimer
=====================

    Apache OpenOffice is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF),
    sponsored by the name of Apache TLP sponsor. Incubation is required of all newly accepted
    projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and
    decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
    ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
    stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Getting started

Building Apache OpenOffice
===========================

    Apache OpenOffice is a big project and depends on several other external libraries
    and the list of prerquisites is varying for the differnet platforms. 

    A comrephensive and complete building guide can be found in the project wiki under

    http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide

    Here you can a complete list of prerequisites

    http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Build_Requirements

    and platform specific guides for

    Windows: 
        http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows
    Linux: 
        http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Linux
    Mac OS X: 
        http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/MacOSXBuildInstructions
    Solaris: 
        http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Solaris

    With having all prerequisites in place you can simply run

    cd main
    ./configure <configure_switches>
    ./bootstrap
    cd instsetoo_native/util
    ./build --all

    The default build will produce a setup version (e.g. setup program on windows, dmg on Mac OS, 
    rpm and deb packages on Linux, pkg packages on Solaris) and an archived version. The output
    can be found in the <output> directory in instsetoo_native/<output_dir>/OpenOffice/...
