Start here. Includes a map of all other documentation and a
description of the directory strucure
- The XWT home page [http://www.xwt.org/]
-
+
- The XWT tutorial [http://www.xwt.org/tutorial.html]
Gentle introduction to what XWT is, and how to write
.xwt's. Good for anybody who wants to write XWT applications.
- The XWT reference [http://www.xwt.org/reference.html]
-
+
Precise, technical spec of exactly how XWT works. Assumes
familiarity with XWT (ie, you've read the tutorial). This is the
authoritative source for how an XWT engine should

-Build Targets
-
- *** XWT now requires JDK 1.4 or later to build ***
-
-To build, make sure your $JAVA_HOME points to jdk1.4 or later, and type
-
- ./ant -Dplat=<platform> <targetname>
-
-The name of any class in org.xwt.plat is a valid <platform>; here is a
-list as of 20-Mar-2002:
-
- Win32 - Windows 95 / NT4 or later
- Java12 - Any Java 1.2+ compliant JVM
-
-Valid <target>s are:
-
- build - builds a binary for the selected platform
-
-The following targets do not require that you specify a platform:
-
- compile - compiles all .java's to .class'es
- clean - empties bin/ and compiled binaries in dist/
-
-
-______________________________________________________________________________
-Building
-
-- WARNING: Jikes 1.16 has a bug which will cause it to generate
- corrupt .class files; you must downgrade to 1.15 in order to compile
- XWT.
-
-- If you only want to build the JVM version of XWT, delete these three
- files:
-
- xwt/src/org/xwt/plat/Win32.java
- xwt/src/org/xwt/plat/POSIX.java
- xwt/src/org/xwt/plat/GCJ.java
-
- This will allow XWT to build correctly *without* gcc 3.1. Otherwise,
- you must compile and install gcc 3.1.
-
-- The Win32 native version of XWT can ONLY be built with the very
- latest pre-release of GCC 3.3. Run "make gcc-lin" to build a gcc
- 3.3 that targets Linux; run "make gcc-win" to build a gcc 3.3 that
- targets Win32.
-
+Build Targets and Requirements
+
+Build requirements:
+- jdk 1.4+
+- jikes (warning: Jikes 1.16 has a fatal bug; use 1.15)
+- gcj 3.3+
+- binutils 2.13+
+- fastjar
+
+If you already have a suitably configured gcj 3.3 and binutils 2.13+
+you can set "gcc_path" to point at its installation location;
+otherwise the Makefile will download, configure, compile, and install
+gcc and binutils.
+
+Public build targets:
+
+ compile - compiles all .java files into bin/*.class
+ Win32 - Win95 or later (bin-Win32/xwt.exe)
+ Linux - Linux 2.2 or later (bin-Linux/xwt.linux)
+ Java2 - Any Java 1.2+ compliant JVM
+ clean - cleanup
