Version 84.1 by Mike Schrag on 2006/05/14 08:42

Prior to building WOLips, you will want to get your dependencies installed properly.  Check out the Installing WOLips page for information on the dependencies for WOLips.

WOLips is now located in Subversion at objectstyle.org.  The CVS repository at sourceforge is now deprecated.

The subversion repository path is https://svn.objectstyle.org/repos/woproject

Installing Subclipse (the Subversion plugins)

  1. Help=>Software Updates=>Find and Install ...
  2. Add New Remote Site
    1. Name = Subclipse
    2. URL = http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x
  3. Select the site, select all the plugins available, and install them

Checking out and Building from the Commandline

  1. Checkout the trunk/woproject folder from Subversion
  2. cd woproject
  3. ant
  4. The first build will fail out telling you that it couldn't find wobuild.properties -- That's OK
  5. Edit /Library/wobuild.properties
  6. Add a line eclipse.home=/path/to/your/eclipse
  7. ant again and it should succeed this time
    1. If you get the error 'build.xml:73: taskdef A class needed by class org.apache.velocity.anakia.AnakiaTask cannot be found: org/jdom/JDOMException', you can do one of two things.  You can build with Dno.docs=true to skip the javadoc step, or (untested) you can drop jdomb8.jar from woproject/projects/lib into your ANTHOME/lib folder.
  8. The build went into temp/dist
  9. Profit
