ANT build vs Make build |
| 5 |
+ |
----------------------- |
| 6 |
+ |
|
| 7 |
+ |
** We have revamped the Makefile, but not the ANT build ** |
| 8 |
+ |
** So please use the Makefile for now ** |
| 9 |
+ |
|
| 10 |
+ |
There are now two methods of compiling the server distribution. The existing |
| 11 |
+ |
Makefile method is still supported, but is of course limited in the OS's on |
| 12 |
+ |
which it can be run. The preffered method will be an XML based build script |
| 13 |
+ |
using ANT (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) which will run on any platform. |
| 14 |
+ |
However, at this stage the ANT scripts are not completely finished and may |
| 15 |
+ |
have some odd behaviour. |
| 16 |
+ |
|
| 17 |
+ |
We envisage both the Makefile and ANT setups being maintained for some time, |
| 18 |
+ |
giving the developer a choice. This document still outlines the Makefile |
| 19 |
+ |
method of compiling, and will do so until such a point as the ANT scripts |
| 20 |
+ |
are deemed reliable. If, however, you wish to give the ant script a whirl, |
| 21 |
+ |
try the following after setting up ANT (see the ANT website for details); |

Compiling |
| 26 |
|
--------- |
| 27 |
|
|
| 35 |
|
make install prefix=/some/path |
| 36 |
|
make clean |
| 37 |
|
|
| 38 |
+ |
Alternatively there is a "make dist" target which will build a |
| 39 |
+ |
distribution archive containing the built code, the javadoc, and |
| 40 |
+ |
the source code. |
| 41 |
+ |
|
| 42 |
|
In more detail, the first line ensures that the required libraries are |
| 43 |
|
available, and sets the Makefiles up so they know where everything is. |
| 44 |
|
The second line compiles all of the code and creates a JAR file in the |
| 101 |
|
Installs the server to a given directory. Also takes a prefix; |
| 102 |
|
make install prefix = /usr/i-scream |
| 103 |
|
|
| 104 |
< |
cvsbuild |
| 104 |
> |
dist |
| 105 |
|
|
| 106 |
< |
Builds any tagged version of the server from CVS. This saves the need to |
| 107 |
< |
checkout a version to build it, as it's all done automatically; |
| 83 |
< |
make install rev = RELEASE_1 |
| 84 |
< |
Default tag is HEAD. |
| 106 |
> |
Builds a full distribution of the server. |
| 107 |
> |
make dist dest=/tmp |
| 108 |
|
|
| 109 |
+ |
dist-bin |
| 110 |
+ |
|
| 111 |
+ |
Builds a binary distribution of the server. |
| 112 |
+ |
make dist dest=/tmp |
| 113 |
+ |
|
| 114 |
|
javadoc |
| 115 |
|
|
| 116 |
|
Builds all the javadoc pages in the `doc' directory. |
| 117 |
|
|
| 118 |
< |
buildutil |
| 118 |
> |
src |
| 119 |
|
|
| 120 |
< |
(it is recommended you run a "make clean" first) |
| 93 |
< |
Builds a seperate JAR file, in `build' called `iscream-util.jar'. |
| 94 |
< |
This file contains just the uk.ac.ukc.iscream.util package for |
| 95 |
< |
use in other parts of the system, such as the clients. |
| 120 |
> |
Copies the whole src tree in to the `build/src' directory. |
