Building SR4Toolbox

Building SR4Toolbox is straightforward to do. First you need to setup your build environment. The following tools are needed:

• a Java SDK, at least version 1.5 is required
• ant

Compiling in 3 easy steps

• step 1: get the source and libraries, from SVN or unpack the tarball
• step 2: run ant
• step 3: run 'ant dbcreate' to create the database

Step 1: get the source and libraries

To get the source, you can check it out from SVN:

svn co https://sr4toolbox.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sr4toolbox/trunk sr4toolbox

or you can download the tarball sr4toolbox-0.3-withlibs.tar.gz and unpack it. This tarball can be found in the download section.

You also need some libraries used by SR4Toolbox. The tarball sr4toolbox-0.3-withlibs.tar.gz contains them. If you got the source from svn and you don't already have these libraries, I suggest to get teh tarball and copy them from the lib directory.

Step 2: run ant

running ant without parameters builds the executable

Step 3: create the database

running ant again but with the dbcreate target (ant dbcreate) builds the database
