Symphony officially can be built on the following platforms

System Architecture
Windows XP / 7 intel x86
Linux - Ubuntu 11.04 intel x86
Linux - Suse Enterprise Desktop 11 intel x86
Mac OS X - 10.5 / 10.6 intel x86

It's easy for developer to reuse Apache OpenOffice 3.4 build environment to build Symphony's source code. This article assumes that you have already made a successful Apache OpenOffice 3.4 build. If you have not, please refer to the following pages.


Getting Symphony's source code

You can get Symphony's source code from Apache OpenOffice SVN server (It's not available now. Please wait for the announcement). Please make sure that all the source code directories are under SRC_ROOT and you can locate all modules at "$SRC_ROOT/main"


Building Symphony on Windows

You can make a full build for Symphony with cygwin on Windows platform.

Software requirements

Starting build

You can run the commands below to start a full build on Windows. Please follow the configure switchers strictly. Symphony does not officially support any other configure switcher.

 cd $SRC_ROOT/main
 autoconf
 ./configure \
     --with-cl-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/vc.2008/VC" \
     --with-mspdb-path="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/vc.2008/Common7/IDE" \
     --with-asm-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/vc.2008/VC/bin" \
     --with-frame-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/MSSDK_v6.1" \
     --with-psdk-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/MSSDK_v6.1" \
     --with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/MSSDK_v6.1/Bin" \
     --with-csc-path="/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v3.5" \
     --with-jdk-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/jdk_1.6" \
     --with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/apache-ant-1.7.0" \
     --with-directx-home="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/directx" \
     --with-nsis-path="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/NSIS" \
     --with-dmake-url="http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.1.tar.bz2" \
     --with-epm-url="http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/epm/3.7/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz" \
     --with-mozilla-build="/cygdrive/c/dev.tools/mozilla-build" \
     --with-use-shell=bash \
     --without-junit \
     --disable-build-mozilla \
     --disable-odk \
     --enable-category-b \
     --enable-bundled-dictionaries
 ./bootstrap
 source winenv.set.sh
 cd instsetoo_native/
 build --all -P4

You can finally get the installation packages on Windows at
