Building from sources

GraniteDS uses Gradle as build system. You can use the gradle wrapper ./gradlew at the root of the project to run the build.

Requirements

JDK 6+ (JDK 7+ recommended for JavaFX), JavaFX 2+ (optional if using JDK 7+). When using JavaFX 2 on a JDK 6, you will have to copy jfxrt.jar in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib.

Adobe/Apache Flex requirements (optional / Flex users only)

The build of the Flex libraries is optional and requires Flex SDKs 3.6 and 4.5 (or above). Unfortunately due to licensing issues we can’t redistribute them or even publish them on a remote repository so you will have to download them manually and install them in the local maven repository (a Maven 3.x installation is thus also required):

Then, install them with the following commands:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.adobe -DartifactId=flex-sdk -Dversion=3.6 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=flex_sdk_3.6a.zip

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.adobe -DartifactId=flex-sdk -Dversion=4.5 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=flex_sdk_4.6.zip

If you run into the following error when you build the project:

Error: Could not create toplevel.xml: Cannot run program "/path/to/.gradle/gradleFx/sdks/c38cfb524afcc315b66387e5a36fe4f5c5b91c32/asdoc/templates/asDocHelper" (in directory "[...]"): error=13, Permission denied

Just issue this command and relaunch the build process:

chmod +x /path/to/.gradle/gradleFx/sdks/c38cfb524afcc315b66387e5a36fe4f5c5b91c32/asdoc/templates/asDocHelper

Note	You can install any compatible version the Flex SDKs (for example Apache Flex 4.10 for SDK 4.5) but you must use the version numbers 3.6 and 4.5.

Clone GitHub repository

git clone git://github.com/graniteds/graniteds.git

Import projects in a IDE

Projects configuration are provided for Eclipse, you can directly import all subprojects in Eclipse. Note that the provided project files use Gradle-managed dependencies build path containers and assume that you are using the Eclipse Gradle IDE plugin.

Quick build (just the libraries, skip tests and API docs)

cd graniteds
./gradlew clean build -x test -x javadoc -x asdoc

Full build

cd graniteds
./gradlew clean build

Specifics for the Adobe/Apache Flex build

The unit tests for Flex require a Flash Player and are skipped when the player path is not defined. You can define the path to the player with:

./gradlew clean build -PflexUnitCommand=/path/to/flashplayer

Install to local repository

./gradlew install
