Template:Documentation/Building Guide AOO TOC

Overview

For general information on how to build Apache OpenOffice from source code, see the platform independent page.

Template:Documentation/Windows For building Apache OpenOffice the Cygwin environment is required. Cygwin is a set of programs that run on Windows but emulate a complete Unix command line environment.

As compiler we use Microsoft's Visual C++, not the gcc from Cygwin. Therefore Visual Studio Express can be used for debugging.

To use this document you should be familiar with a bourne command line interpreter (sh or bash), but you need not be a UNIX shell wizard. Template:Documentation/Tip

Build requirements

Additionally to the general build requirements you need

This is either a DVD image or a net installer. You can either mount the DVD with a suitable tool, burn it do a DVD or use tools like winrar or 7zip to extract files from the ISO file directly. You don't need to install samples or documentation (saves a lot of disk space). It will also install the .NET Framework 3.5 SDK. It might be best to install the Windows SDK into the default directory, and if not that into one without capital letters in the path.

The exact download URL may have changed. In that case you have to search Microsoft's website.

Runtime libraries Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm and policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm for non debug builds and Microsoft_VC90_DebugCRT_x86.msm and policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_DebugCRT_x86.msm for debug builds

You can find these files in your directory c:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules or c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules . These merge modules are available in Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition and Professional Edition.

Microsoft DirectX SDK http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=6812 --with-directx-home=
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

If NSIS is available, a self contained Windows installer is created in addition to the MSI installer files.

It used to be that newer version of NSIS broke the build (see Issue 85657 ), but it seems that it now works for NSIS up to 2.3.7.
