Building Grendel:
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the required (external) packages first.
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
./configure
|
|
gmake
|
|
|
|
The 'configure' script will create the Makefiles with all necessary CLASSPATH
|
|
settings and such set up appropriately for your system. You no longer have to
|
|
edit the Makefiles or set CLASSPATH manually.
|
|
|
|
'configure' will look for three specific Java compilers (in this order):
|
|
1. 'javac-ea' - early access of next-generation Java compiler from
|
|
Java Software (Sun)
|
|
|
|
2. 'javac' - standard Sun JDK compiler
|
|
|
|
3. 'jikes' - IBM's Java-compatible compiler (included because some
|
|
people like to use it instead of 'javac')
|
|
|
|
'configure' will use whichever of these three it finds first as the compiler
|
|
for Grendel.
|
|
|
|
Running Grendel:
|
|
|
|
There are currently two ways you can run Grendel:
|
|
|
|
1. Type 'java grendel.Main' (with the correct CLASSPATH, or you can
|
|
use the '-classpath' option to set the classpath on the
|
|
command-line)
|
|
2. Type 'make run' after building and watch it work.
|
|
|
|
Editing Makefiles:
|
|
|
|
Do not edit the generated Makefiles as they will be overwritten when you next
|
|
run 'configure' or 'configure.status'. If you want to change something in the
|
|
Makefiles, or add or delete targets, edit the Makefile.in files.
|
|
|
|
If you edit 'configure.in' you will need to run GNU autoconf to remake the
|
|
'configure' script. If you don't have GNU autoconf and don't want to get it,
|
|
just don't go there.
