How to use build Proxool from the source
Contents:
0. Get the source
1. Get JDK
2. Get Ant
3. Build
Get the source package or grab the latest code from CVS. See the download
page.
Get and install JDK1.2 or later. You can get
one from various places but a good place to start is
Sun. Actually, we
recommend getting at least JDK1.3 if it is available on your
platform.
You don't have to use Ant to build the source. But it's a lot easier if you do. You need to install Ant on
your machine first and full instructions for doing that can be found on their
web site. The build script has been tested against
Ant version 1.5.
Move into the directory containing the build.xml file. Ant automatically looks for this
file when you run it. The simplest way to build Proxool is to just run Ant with no
arguments:
ant
will build proxool-x.y.z.jar. You'll find it in the build directory.
For more advanced options you need to pass some properties on the command line
ant -Dproperty=value -Dproperty=value ...
| Property |
Range |
Default |
Notes |
| build-dir |
Any valid path; absolute or relative to
the build.xml file. |
build |
Where to build the source to. |
| test |
true, false |
false |
Whether to include the test classes. |
| debug |
true, false |
true |
Whether you want debug information to be compiled. Most
libraries ship with debugging turned on these days. The
jar ends up being a little bigger but that is outweighed
by better reporting.
|
For example:
ant
will build the jar file.
ant -Ddebug=false build-jar
will build proxool.jar without debug information (not recommended)
Note: the Ant task repackage-dependencies takes the dependencies in /jarjar and
repackages them into build/lib/proxool-*.jar. These are needed in your classpath if you are going to
compile the code within your IDE. You can't use the libraries located in /jarjar directly because the
package structure is different.
