Before you start building, you must ensure that your system satisfies the recommended software and hardware requirements for the type of system you are working on. For Linux, these are as follows:

Hardware requirements

  • one or more reasonable fast CPUs, x-way CPU's recommended.
  • 1 GB Ram ( 2 GB recommended )
  • 10 GB free disk space

Software requirements

  • glibc: for OOo<=3.1: 2.2.x or higher , for OOo>3.1: 2.3.2 or higher
  • C/C++ Compiler: OpenOffice.org has been successfully build on Linux with gcc versions greater 3.3.x. Currently "officially used" GCC version is 4.2.3
  • The X11 development libraries and header files should be installed. Should be in place with most Linux distributions. Note the there are currently some issues with X version 4.3
  • PAM (should come with most Linux distributions). You must install the development package for your distribution.
  • Shell: either bash or csh are supported.


  • GTK - If you enable the crash reporter in configure then you need the gtk 2, jpeg and tiff development libraries.
