| 1 | Generating:
|
|---|
| 2 | Run './generate' to generate build scripts
|
|---|
| 3 | (prints further usage instructions)
|

|

| 5 | Required Packages:
|
|---|
| 6 | Packages required to build Greenstone are defined in the Greenstone package
|
|---|
| 7 | build scripts, however you will also need the necessary packages for
|
|---|
| 8 | building packages on your current distro.
|
|---|
| 9 | These are:
|
|---|
| 10 | Ubuntu: build-essential, debhelper
|
|---|
| 11 | Arch: base-devel, <check this>
|
|---|
| 12 | Fedora: <fill out>
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | Building:
|
|---|
| 15 | Generated packages are found in ./build/<distro>/<package>
|
|---|
| 16 | To build a package, run 'make' in the package directory.
|
|---|
| 17 | If building a package requires other packages to be installed, they may be
|
|---|
| 18 | automatically installed, or if not they should be printed to the terminal.
|
|---|
| 19 | To build all packages, cd into ./build/<distro>/, and run
|
|---|
| 20 | for pkg in *; do test -d $pkg && pushd $pkg && make; popd; done
|
|---|
| 21 | I recommend only doing this if you know all the packages will build
|
|---|
| 22 | successfully.

| 24 | Patches:
|
|---|
| 25 | To generate a patch:
|
|---|
| 26 | diff -aur package.pristine package.new > package.patch
|
|---|
| 27 | To apply a patch:
|
|---|
| 28 | patch -p0 -i package.patch
|
|---|
| 29 | where -p0 assumes the paths in the patch are valid in the current
|
|---|
| 30 | directory
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | gs2build.patch
|
|---|
| 33 | Contains patches for the gs2build build process
|
|---|
| 34 | Disables building externals
|
|---|
| 35 | perl-util.patch
|
|---|
| 36 | Contains a patch to change the tmp folder for gs2build
|
|---|
| 37 | This is necessary because the original location of the tmp folder was
|
|---|
| 38 | in the gs2build folder, which contains executables, and as such should
|
|---|
| 39 | be read-only.
|
|---|
| 40 | Thus the tmp folder has been changed to /tmp/greenstone-build
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | Scripts:
|
|---|
| 43 | greenstone
|
|---|
| 44 | Sets up the environment for running greenstone-tools
|
|---|
| 45 | gli
|
|---|
| 46 | Runs greenstone to set up the environment, then runs GLI
|
|---|
| 47 | wvWare
|
|---|
| 48 | Removes itself from $PATH, then runs wvWare (which will be the system
|
|---|
| 49 | wvWare)
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | Gotchas:
|
|---|
| 52 | derby.jar location
|
|---|
| 53 | Must be in the tomcat lib folder instead of the greenstone lib folder

|
|---|
| 56 | Issues:
|
|---|
| 57 | Debian package has lots of warnings
|
|---|
| 58 | Pacman package has lots of file ownership warnings when updating
|
|---|
| 59 | (because we chown the web directory)
|
|---|
| 60 | Maybe chown it back to root in a pre-update script?
|
