Building java-libglom from the source code

We suggest using jhbuild.

Building java-libglom

java-libglom uses autotools, so you can use the standard configure and make commands to build it from a tarball. If you are building from git then you will need to run autogen.sh instead of configure. Note that you'll need to use ./configure --enable-maven-install so that gwt-glom can find the installed files later.

Alternatively, you can let jhbuild do it for you:

Building java-libglom with jhbuild

Before we start, we need to set the jhbuild configuration file for java-libglom. Download the java-libglom jhbuildrc with this command:

wget http://gitorious.org/online-glom/java-libglom/blobs/raw/master/tools/build/jhbuildrc-java-libglom

And move it to the location expected by jhbuild:

mv jhbuildrc-java-libglom .jhbuildrc

Use this command to build java-libglom and it's dependencies:

jhbuild build

This should take a few minutes so now's a good time to grab a coffee or tea.

When this has finished, you should run the unit tests and example application with this command to ensure everything is OK:

jhbuild shell
cd ~/gnome/sources/java-libglom
make check

You should see these lines near the bottom of the output:

==================
All 2 tests passed
==================

If you don't see information indicating that all tests have passed, something is wrong with java-libglom and you will have to resolve the problem before you can continue.
