Build instructions #47

Open badlogic opened 7 years ago

badlogic commented 7 years ago

Hi folks,

I've been trying to get this project to build so I can fix it up on Mac for my wife. However, there's quite a bunch of stuff missing, e.g. dependencies (expected in the libs/ folder), IDE project files or alternatively a handful of ANT tasks that can generate these (ideally there'd be Maven/Gradle support, but hey, one step at a time).

In it's current state, this repository is pretty useless for anyone trying to work on EXMARaLDA.

Please advise :)

We'll take care of this, eventually, but are not ready yet. For the time being, you can use the libraries (jar and zip files) contained in the preview distributions (EXMARaLDA.jar excepted) and add those to your IDE project. The code should compile then. If you replace the existing EXMARaLDA.jar in the distribution with the one you generated, your changes should work in the application.

Goo idea! Problem is that this is really about the Java native stub used to launch the JVM on macOS. That still requires Java 1.6 which does no longer work on Sierra. The sources for the native stubs aren't available. I guess I could just launch the app from the CLI using the args from the info.plist. Cheers!

How is Java 1.6 not working on Sierra (because it works for me)? Which problems did you run into?

Might be a faulty Java 1.6 install on my wife's laptop. In any case, resolved itself by not using the native stub and invoking the JAR directly.

Reopening this, the question keeps coming up how we can enable others to build.

I'm glad you reopened this issue. Since we have contact to many students working with exmaralda, we could help to test exmaralda, try to fix some bugs and contribute some code. What about describing the current build process "as is" and - departing from it - evolving to a standardized build process?
