The building of installation packages is the last step in building Apache OpenOffice. It takes place in the main/instsetoo_native module. It basically consists of collecting all files that are to be installed and putting them into an archive that can be installed on the targeted operating system. The installation technique depends on the operating system:

Windows
An msi that is wrapped by an NSIS installer.
Linux
A set of RPM or DEB packages that are installed by distribution specific package managers.
MacOSX
A dmg archive that is (can be?) copied into the /Application directory.
Personal tools
