Preliminaries: A. One-off steps You will need to have installed: 1. SVN 2. Ant 3. JDK 1.8 for Expeditee 1. Check out the expeditee release kits: svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/other-projects/expeditee-release-kits 2. Create a snapshots\expeditee folder 3. Create the file "snapshots\expeditee\rke-build.properties". It should contain: version:1 projectname:Expeditee For 64 bit linux it should contain: version:1 projectname:Expeditee x64:true* B. Each time you want to run the release-kit: Set the environment: 1. Add SVN\bin to the PATH 2. Set ANT_HOME and add ANT_HOME\bin to the PATH 3. Set JAVA_HOME to JDK 1.8 and add JAVA_HOME\bin to the PATH 4. Add your expeditee-release-kits\bin to the PATH. E.g. on Windows cd c:\Research\Nightly\tools\expeditee-release-kits\bin set PATH=%CD%;%PATH% E.g. on Linux/Mac: export PATH=/Volumes/Research/jts21/expeditee-release-kits/bin:$PATH Toro is the Mac we use and JDK1.8 is located in /Volumes/Research Jeremy's Linux under his jts21 account is what's used to generate the Linux binary. (5. If you have any file-locking issues, you may want to delete the contents of the snapshots\expeditee folder, all EXCEPT the rke-build.properties file) 6. Go to your snapshots\expeditee folder and run "rke": cd snapshots\expeditee rke
