Info about this fork

This forks aims to create a Gradle reproducible build for all environments (linux/windows x86/x64) using Maven repositories.

Dependencies are almost the same as original Ant build.

Dependencies

I tried to replicate build using the same version of original Ant build but referencing versions currently available from remote repositories.

I were unable to find jsch version so I used the one with the closest in time jar contents.

Original jar name	Inferred version	Gradle remote dependency
activation.jar	1.1	javax.activation:activation:1.1
commons-codec-1.4.jar	1.4	commons-codec:commons-codec:1.4

File encoding

Files had iso-8859-1 enconding so I've converted them into utf-8.

Needed linux packages

Install packages libattr1-dev and libacl1-dev with your linux distro package manager.

attr/xattr.h -> libattr1-dev

sys/acl.h -> libacl1-dev

See https://sourceforge.net/p/areca/discussion/587586/thread/79d14ff3/

How to compile

Default compilation for linux x64

./gradlew clean build

switches for other environments

./gradlew clean build -PbuildProfile=linuxX86
./gradlew clean build -PbuildProfile=winX86
./gradlew clean build -PbuildProfile=winX64

TODO

Maybe install4j

Info about legacy Ant compilation

Generate header file for jni

Patch build.xml according to those links

<exec executable="javah">
    <arg value="-d"/>
    <arg value="${root}/jni"/>
    <arg value="-force"/>
    <arg value="-classpath"/>
    <arg value="${root}/lib/areca.jar"/>
    <arg value="com.myJava.file.metadata.posix.jni.wrapper.FileAccessWrapper"/>

command line becomes

xxx@xxx-ubuntu:~/areca-7.5-src$ javah -d ./jni -force -classpath ./lib/areca.jar com.myJava.file.metadata.posix.jni.wrapper.FileAccessWrapper

Compile Jni native code

xxx@xxx-ubuntu:~/areca-7.5-src/jni$ gcc -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/include -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/include/linux -c -fPIC -lacl com_myJava_file_metadata_posix_jni_wrapper_FileAccessWrapper.c -o com_myJava_file_metadata_posix_jni_wrapper_FileAccessWrapper.o
