If you have problems using the given instructions, please subscribe and ask in the developer mailinglist.

Note: This section is currently being updated for SOPE 4.3 and OGo 1.0a which change the build and install procedure. Some information might be incorrect, please provide feedback in case you find incorrect information!

Requirements

Starting with OGo 1.0alpha, OGo has only a single build dependency, the SOPE application server. Of course for deployment you might need additional services, like a working PostgreSQL or Cyrus server.


Steps to Build OGo
  1. Basic ThirdParty Packages (make, objc, libFoundation, libical)
  2. SOPE
  3. Groupware (Logic, DocumentAPI, WebUI)

Note: We try to collect some common build errors in the Common Build Errors document.
