Build Targets
-To build, make sure your $JAVA_HOME points to jdk1.2 or later, and type
+ *** XWT now requires JDK 1.4 or later to build ***
- ./ant -Dplat=<platform> <targetname>
+To build, make sure your $JAVA_HOME points to jdk1.4 or later, and type
-If you're using jdk1.2 or jdk1.3 to compile, you should remove
-src/org/xwt/plat/Java14.java, since it can only be compiled with
-jdk1.4+.
+ ./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
- Java2 - Any Java 1.2+ compliant JVM
+ Java12 - Any Java 1.2+ compliant JVM
Valid <target>s are:
build - builds a binary for the selected platform
- dist - creates deployment materials for the selected platform in dist/
- run - runs the 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/
- www - rebuild www/html/
- push - push changes to the web server via ssh (RSA auth)

Building
-- If you only want to build the JVM version of XWT, delete these two
+- 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,
server.
There are also two patches at the end of this file which can be
- applied to the branch -- the first disables Win32 file locking (so
- you can view XWT's log files while it is running), and the second
- makes Throwable.printStackTrace() work.
+ applied to the branch -- the first fixes an inet_addr() bug on
+ Win32, the second enables stack traces.

+Native-Code "ant"
+
+** THIS DOESN'T WORK YET **
+
+Ant takes a long time to start up, mainly because it has to load a
+JVM. If you compile ant to native code using GCJ, it will load much
+more quickly. So far, this only works on Linux.

+ cd /tmp/ant
