Building JBlend under Windows/Linux/MacOS

Sources and Tools

Download the JBlend Development-Kit, or better download the last version from the SourceForge SVN repository
You need a JDK (>= 1.4)
On Unix (Linux/Mac) you need the GNU/C compiler.
On Windows you can download MingW , or you can use the free "MS Visual Studio 2005 Community Edition".

Building on Windows (using a MS C Compiler)


   cd ...\tclJBlend-devkit
   ms-build x32
   ms-build x64

Building on *nix (Linux/MacOS/Windows+MingW)


   cd .../tclJBlend-devkit
   ./build.sh x32
   ./build.sh x64

By default intermediate results will be saved under the XBUILD subdirectory; XBUILD/JBlend will contain the deliverable package (zip it and deliver it).

If you use a shared disk for building, you can attach it to Win/Linux/Mac so that XBUILD/JBlend will collect all the native DLL/.so/.dylib so far built.

If you need to build a JBlend+JVM bundle, read the detailed instruction in tclJBlend-devkit/HowTO-AssembleJBlend+JVM.txt

Extra settings for Building customizations

You can adapt the build procedure in a limited way, just by setting some environment variables or passing'em on the fly on the command line of the build script.

Allowed settings:


  CFLAGS        (Options for C-compiler)
  JCFLAGS       (Options for javac.exe)
  BUILDDIR      (temporary directory for building)

BE CAREFUL: All pathnames must be in Unix notation

Examples:

Change the output directory (on Linux/Mac/MingW)


 BUILDDIR=/work ; export BUILDDIR ; ./build.sh x64

or equivalently (on Windows)


  ms-build.bat x86 "BUILDDIR=c:/work"

or equivalently (on Linux/Mac)


 ./build.sh x64   "BUILDDIR=/work"

Enable tracing ...
