To install:
|
||||
|
||||
1) read and edit the variables found in the files ./src/lib/* particularly:
|
||||
*) The src/default_config directory contains perl libraries which are
|
||||
specific to an individual users site configuration. No two users of
|
||||
Tinderbox will have the identical sets of files.
|
||||
|
||||
TinderConfig.pm: general configuration settings
|
||||
TreeData.pm: version control configuration
|
||||
The files found in default_config are sample files which are used at
|
||||
Mozilla.org. Other users are expected to customize these libries and
|
||||
install the modified libraries in local_config. Files found in
|
||||
local_config will be used before any file found in default_config.
|
||||
The distribution of Tinderbox will never place any files in the
|
||||
local_config directory as this is assumed to be under local control.
|
||||
|
||||
These modules will take some programming experiance to configure
|

A quick overview of the files:

FileStructure.pm: filesystem (storage) and global/per-project settings

(HTML directories, Log files, implementations of libraries

to use, etc).

errors in build logs.

configure for some of the makefile variables. When configure is done
