Building Grendel:
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the required (external) packages first. Then edit the top-level rules.mk file, setting the CLASSPATH and other variables appropriately for your system.
|
|
|
|
For now, we still have to use 'gmake -k' to ensure a full build, since we haven't finished getting rid of the back-end dependencies that cause the builds to fail. So use 'gmake -k' if you want to get anything usable.
|
|
|
|
We've run into some namespace collisions when building under Java 2 (JDK 1.2), so be aware that you may not get Grendel to build under Java 2 at the moment. On the other hand, 'gmake -k' may do the trick and you may end up with something tht runs. Your Mileage May Vary.
|
|
|
|
Running Grendel:
|
|
|
|
There are currently two ways you can run Grendel:
|
|
|
|
1. Set your CLASSPATH environment variable to include all the
|
|
required packages, then type 'java grendel.Main'.
|
|
|
|
2. Type 'make run' after building and watch it work.
|
|
|
|
What does Grendel do?
|
|
|
|
Currently, we've got the following:
|
|
|
|
- A nice, three-pane GUI
|
|
- Ability to open local mail folders
|
|
- Ability to parse and display (simple) HTML messages
|
|
|
|
More features are being worked on, but you can at least get a feel for what's happening with Grendel at this point.
