|
|---|
| 4 | This folder contains the Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI), a tool to
|
|---|
| 5 | assist you with building digital libraries using Greenstone. The GLI gives
|
|---|
| 6 | you access to Greenstone's functionality from an easy-to-use, 'point and
|
|---|
| 7 | click' interface.
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | To use the GLI, you need a suitable version of the Java Runtime Environment
|
|---|
| 10 | (version 1.4.0 or newer). If you don't already have one, you can download
|
|---|
| 11 | one from http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | Note that the GLI is run in conjunction with Greenstone, and assumes that
|
|---|
| 14 | it is installed in a subdirectory of your Greenstone installation. If you
|
|---|
| 15 | have downloaded one of the Greenstone distributions, this will be the case.

| 18 | -- Running the GLI under Windows --
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | To run the GLI under Windows, browse to the GLI folder in your Greenstone
|
|---|
| 21 | installation (using Windows Explorer), and double-click on the gli.bat
|
|---|
| 22 | file. This file will check that Greenstone, Perl, and the Java Runtime
|
|---|
| 23 | Environment are installed, then start the Greenstone Librarian Interface.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | -- Running the GLI under Unix --
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | To run the GLI under Unix, change to the GLI directory in your Greenstone
|
|---|
| 29 | installation, then run the gli.sh script. This script will check that
|
|---|
| 30 | Greenstone, Perl, and the Java Runtime Environment are installed (make sure
|
|---|
| 31 | they are on your search path), then start the Greenstone Librarian
|
|---|
| 32 | Interface.
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | Please report any problems you have running or using the Librarian
|
|---|
| 36 | Interface to [email protected].

| 39 | -- Compiling the GLI --
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | If you have downloaded the Greenstone source distribution, or you have
|
|---|
| 42 | obtained the GLI via CVS, you will have the source code (Java) of the
|
|---|
| 43 | Librarian Interface.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | To compile this source code, run the makegli.bat (Windows) or makegli.sh
|
|---|
| 46 | (Unix) files. Once this has been done, you can run the GLI using the
|
|---|
| 47 | instructions above.
