7 months ago Hello.
I can give you a quick instruction on how to run it. Please do note that this project is still in the development stages.
The current requirement for building this project is to have a Linux environment prepared. You can do so by using a VM, a Cloud Instance (Google Cloud Shell, Linode, self-hosted etc.), within a Container, or within the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). VM, Cloud and WSL are the recommended ones, since Containers might not have the necessary libraries to build.
I assume that you have already cloned the repository. If not, then you can do git clone https://github.com/BeChris100/osintgram4j.git.
From there, you run the setup.sh and build.sh. If there are errors regarding missing tools (e.g. missing gcc), you can install by doing sudo apt install build-essential, which will install the needed ones. This does not include cmake, so you would have to do sudo apt install cmake. Make sure that commands like tar and wget are also present.
If there is a successful build, and you can successfully run the project that is located as a binary under out/pkg/osintgram4j/bin/osintgram4j, then the build was successful. If there were errors during the build, I suggest copying the logs and log everything that is needed to reproduce the error. This way, the error will be fixed seamlessly.
However, if you want to build it for Windows, then you might need to modify the CMakeLists.txt within the cxx folder, and get the native libraries to be compiled. Since I do not use Windows, I have used the name prefixes that were compatible with Linux directly, which can be installed as a mingw package. The full package names are unknown to me, but they exist somewhere. Quick Google searches will help you out. Once the manual compilation for the native libraries were done, you can either run jpackage directly, or run jdeps, jlink and jpackage manually. They share a somewhat similar syntax, as they are being used in the build.sh script.
And to directly answer your question, you won't be able to directly run Java code, since it needs its specific class paths. The jpackage tool will help you eliminate this problem. Unless, you like Batch/PowerShell scripts, which I won't provide out of the box (again, I'm not a Windows guy), then you can also use to manually run them.
If you need any other help, you can find my E-Mail address and other additional Contact Information on my GitHub Home Page.
