4 + 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);

25   Compiling
26   ---------
27  
# Line 14 | Line 35 | make build
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
# Line 35 | Line 60 | DBInterface
60   FilterManager
61   RootFilter
62   FilterMain
63 + Client
64  
65   It is not necessary to start both the ClientInterfaceMain and DBInterface,
66   the server will handle only one or both. Multiple Filter's can be started
# Line 75 | Line 101 | install
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;
82 <    make install rev = RELEASE_1
83 <  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 + src
119 +
120 +  Copies the whole src tree in to the `build/src' directory.
121 +
122 + createtable
123 +
124 +  Creates the ipacket table in the mySQL database. This is required for
125 +  the database side of the server.
126 +
127 + droptable
128 +
129 +  Drops an ipacket table from the mySQL database if one exists.
