Komodo Edit

This readme explains how to get started building, using and developing with the Komodo Edit source base.

Whilst the main Komodo Edit source is hosted under this repository you may also want to check out the individual component/addon repositories under https://github.com/Komodo in case you only want to contribute to a specific component. This'll save you some time and hassle as you would not have to build the entire project.

Feedback

There are several ways to get in contact with the Komodo devs:

Building Komodo

Note that these are simplified steps of the building process, for a more in-depth guide check (outdated) BUILD.txt.

Building on Windows

Prerequisites

See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites for more details on Windows build prerequisites. However, following the above steps is meant to be sufficient to get Komodo building.

Building Steps

Upon making any modifications to the source you will again have to run bk build, or simply bk build && bk run to quickly get back into Komodo. Subsequent builds should be a lot faster as much of the compiled data is cached.

Building on Mac

Mac Prerequisites

See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mac_OS_X_Build_Prerequisites for more details on Mac OS X build prerequisites. However, following the above steps is meant to be sufficient to get Komodo building.

Xcode 8 Prerequisites

Officially we do not support Xcode 8, however it is possible to build Komodo under Xcode 8 using a new extra steps.

Building Steps

Building with GCC 5.0 and higher

If you are using GCC 5.0, the build may fail. If it does, there are changes that need to be made to two files. However, if you are running a clean build for the first time, you need to allow this part of the build to fail first. This is because the files are in the Mozilla part of the build which has to be downloaded first.

These files need to be changed:

Upon making any modifications to the source you will again have to run bk build, or simply bk build && bk run to quickly get back into Komodo. Subsequent builds should be a lot faster as much of the compiled data is cached.

Building on Linux

Linux instructions

Building with Docker

The easiest way to get started is to use our Docker image, this will basically provide you with a Ubuntu 12.04 based build of Komodo.

After cloning the repository simply navigate into {repo}/util/docker and check out ./docklet --help

To use the docker image you need to of course have Docker installed as well as have X11 forwarding enabled in your SSH client (should work by default on most linux distros).

Prepare Docker Image

Your project files will be mounted at /komodo/dev

NOTE - if you are updating from a previous version where your project files were at /root/komodo you will need to fix permissions on your Komodo project and profile folders. Ie:

chown -R <my-username>:<my-group> <my-project-location>
chown -R <my-username>:<my-group> ~/.komodoide

You will also need to redo your build (distclean mozilla and komodo).

Building Steps

Once your image is prepared you can follow the building steps for linux as described above. You will be running these from the docker container, so ssh into it using the command above and then run the commands from /komodo/dev

Running

Once your build is complete you exit out of the container (exit) and can then run Komodo with

./util/docker/docklet run

To rebuild Komodo (after making changes) and run it again you can use

./util/docker/docklet build run

If your changes are not being reflected you may need to clean your build, to do this use

./util/docker/docklet clean

Or to do it all at once (clean, build and run)

./util/docker/docklet clean build run

Building Complications

If any errors occur during your first built-time and it is not obvious how to fix the issue on your own please refer to the Feedback section on how to get in contact with us.

Note that if building complications arise after you updated your repo with the latest changes you might need to clear your local cache as it might be conflicting with the new changes, to do this run bk distclean before running your build steps.

Pro-Tips

Build a single piece

Sometimes bk build is too much and bk build quick isn't enough. If bk build quick doesn't appear to pickup your changes, try pointing bk build at the piece in question.

Example

bk build build/release/modules/places #this will build the places module only

NOTE: Do not rely on this method as bk build quick is faster and in some cases does some steps that the above example won't perform. Use it as a last ditch effort before you try bk distclean && bk build.
