Building dodo #24

Closed hjellinek closed 3 months ago

hjellinek commented 3 months ago

Hi,

I've cloned the dodo repo with the idea of adding a key-value store or RDBMS to hold user information. I'm using Gradle as a build tool. I've been having to do some detective work to determine and locate the dependencies, or even the required JDK version, without a build.gradle or pom.xml to guide me.

Can you add some documentation on how to build dodo, or, better yet, check in the script or tool you build it with?

Thanks.

Hello,

it's a simple Eclipse-Project, importing the complete repo content into Eclipse with the Package-Explorer context-menu "Import..." then "Existing project into Workspace" gets you started in Eclipse.

The readme.md states somewhere that you need at least a JRE 8, same for the .classpath file of the Eclipse project ("JavaSE-1.8"), so any modern Java-JDK will do.

There is no required build tool, as there are almost no dependencies to other libraries or the like. The only external library is jnetpcap.jar (i don't even remember where i downloaded this from to copy it into the project's root) if you need to build the "NetHubGateway".

The jar-file is simply generated with the Package-Explorer context-menu "Export..." on the project and then "Java" > "JAR file".

The dist.zip file is built by hand at the shell level: if you want to extend the distribution, you can start from the current dist.zip, add your files and specifically your new .jar-file.

Hope that helps Hans

Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. I was hoping to find a Maven-style dependency declaration for the jnetpcap.jar library, but having the JAR file itself works too.

To start, I'll see if I can create a build.gradle file that builds the project JAR.
