Ubuntu

To build you need the following packages:

sudo apt-get install g++ gcc bison flex libarchive-zip-perl libcups2-dev libpam0g-dev \
gperf libfreetype6-dev libxaw7-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrandr-dev patch \
libgconf2-dev libgnomevfs2-dev ant libgtk2.0-dev junit junit4 libidl-dev liborbit2-dev

The java package depends on your Ubuntu version.

For 9.10 Karmic Koala and Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx you must activate the "ubuntu lucid partner" archive in the software sources and run

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

For 11.04 run

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

To make sure that all packages are installed you could just simply run command:

sudo apt-get build-dep openoffice.org

Then you can configure the AOO build with

cd main
autoconf
./configure --disable-mozilla --with-junit="/usr/share/java/junit4.jar"

For other options regarding mozilla code please see here.

In case you want to get some libraries from the system instead of building them yourself, the following packages are candidates to be installed also:

sudo apt-get install python-dev ccache libgraphite-dev \
libwpd-dev libxslt-dev libhunspell-dev libaltlinuxhyph-dev

Then follow the Building Guide to continue.
