    11== How to build ==
    22
    3 This page is completely outdated since version 1.3 of lucide. We stiched to kmk build system and everything builds out of the box.
    4 
    5  
    6 First, you need Borland's make for OS/2 for makefile processing. (updating makefiles to work with !OpenWatcom is on our !ToDo list). You may download Borland make and implib here - ftp://weird.da.ru/eros2/borland-tools-os2.zip. Store them in a separate directory (e.g. \tools).
    7 
    8 For build Lucide you need !OpenWatcom 1.8.
    9 To build djvu library/plugin you need GCC 3.3.5 CSD 3.
    10 
    11 === 1. setup your environment ===
    12 adjust the paths in file
    13  * \env.cmd
    14 Then execute '{{{env.cmd}}}'
    15 
    16 === 2. build the poppler library ===
    17 execute {{{'make'}}} in directories
    18 
    19  * \poppler\freetype2\src
    20  * \poppler\fc-emulate-os2\fontconfig
    21  * \poppler\mypoppler\fofi
    22  * \poppler\mypoppler\goo
    23  * \poppler\mypoppler\poppler
    24  * \poppler\mypoppler\splash
    25 
    26 Then execute '{{{\poppler\mklib.cmd}}}', \poppler\poppler.lib will be created.
    27 
    28 === 3. build the djvu library ===
    29 execute '{{{make}}}' in directory
    30  * \libdjvu
    31 
    32 === 4. build the jpeg library ===
    33 execute '{{{wmake -f makefile.wat}}}' in directory
    34  * \libjpeg
    35 
    36 === 5. build the plugins ===
    37 execute '{{{make}}}' in directories:
    38  * \Lucide\SOURCE\plugins\ludoc     (should be build first)
    39  * \Lucide\SOURCE\plugins\lupoppler
    40  * \Lucide\SOURCE\plugins\lujpeg   (useless plugin, just for fun)
    41 
    42 === 6. build the djvu plugin ===
    43 execute '{{{make -f makefile.gcc}}}' in directory
    44  * \Lucide\SOURCE\plugins\ludjvu
    45 
    46 === 7. build the Lucide GUI ===
    47 execute '{{{make}}}' in directory
    48  * \Lucide\SOURCE\gui
    49 
    50 
    51 If everything was successful the executable and all plugins are available in directory
    52  * \Lucide\BIN
     3The following should provide a basic outline of the requirements and steps to get Lucide building. Help is always available on the Lucide-dev mailing list.
     4
     5
     6=== Requirements ===
     7
     8In order to build Lucide, you will need the following tools:
     9
     10  - kBuild version 0.1.5 (r2206) or later. Get it with the following command:
     11
     12      {{{svn co !http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/kbuild/trunk/kBuild -r 2206}}}
     13
     14  - GCC compiler version 4.9.2 for OS/2 and the patched !OpenWatcom linker. The GCC compiler must be set up to use the !OpenWatcom linker for linking. Note that GCC 4.4.4 is known to have problems with the {{{_System}}} modifier and is not suitable for building Lucide SOM DLLs for this reason.
     15
     16  Installing via yum or Arca Noae Package Manager is recommended. Copy the following list of packages and paste into Arca Noae Package Manager's Quick install dialog or pass to {{{yum install}}} on the command line:
     17
     18  {{{kbuild gcc gcc-wlink gcc-wrc libc-devel poppler poppler-devel pthread pthread-devel os2tk45 os2tk45-headers os2tk45-libs}}}
     19
     20  - SOM SDK 2.x. The one that is part of the OS/2 Tooklit version 4.5 is known to work and recommended. Note that installing the Toolkit is not required (though it will also work) -- you may simply extract the "som" subdirectory (with all its contents) from the Toolkit and place it in some directory. (You don't need to put any statements in CONFIG.SYS in this case.)
     21
     22  - A recent version of the CURL library (headers and .a/.lib files).
     23
     24  - RC.EXE version 4 or 5 which should be located in a directory listed in PATH.
     25
     26  - !LxLite 1.3.3 or above should also be located in PATH, otherwise packing the resulting EXEs and DLLs will be disabled. You may get !LxLite from here:
     27
     28  http://www.os2site.com/sw/util/archiver/lxlt133.zip
     29 
     30  - poppler_dll.a (part of poppler-devel, installed above via yum or Arca Noae Package Manager).
     31
     32  - OS/2 Toolkit (installed with eCS, ArcaOS, or as above via yum or Arca Noae Package Manager).
     33
     34
     35=== Setting up the environment ===
     36
     37Copy {{{LocalEnv.cmd.tpl}}} to {{{LocalEnv.cmd}}}, adjusting the copy to match your environment. Each option in {{{LocalEnv.cmd.tpl}}} has a comment describing what it does.
     38
     39You may also want to adjust the configuration of the Lucide build according to your needs. To do so, copy {{{LocalConfig.kmk.tpl}}} to {{{LocalConfig.kmk}}} and adjust the copy to match your requirements. Each option in {{{LocalConfig.kmk.tpl}}} has a comment describing what it does.
     40
     41
     42=== Building the product ===
     43
     44Start {{{env.cmd}}} to setup the environment and type {{{kmk}}} in the root directory of the Lucide source tree to start kBuild and build the release version of Lucide and all plugins.
     45
     46If you are a developer, you may prefer to use the {{{se.cmd}}} script instead of starting {{{env.cmd}}} in each new shell. This script will allow you to run {{{kmk}}} in the correct environment from any directory inside the Lucide source tree by simply typing {{{se kmk}}} in that directory. This is especially handy if you use e.g. File Commander as your development IDE. The {{{se.cmd}}} script may be obtained from here:
     47
     48  ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qt4/tools/se10.zip
     49
     50
     51=== Generating Distribution Archives ===
     52
     53In order to generate WPI and ZIP distribution archives in the output directory, issue the following command in the root of the source tree (prefixed with {{{se}}} if you use it):
     54
     55  {{{kmk packing}}}
     56
     57Note that this command will perform a complete cleanup before packing, to make sure everything is rebuilt from scratch. For testing purposes, you may omit the cleanup pass by using:
     58
     59  {{{kmk fastpacking}}}
     60
     61which will only generate the distribution archives from the existing build.
     62
     63'''IMPORTANT (for the release builder):'''
     64
     65    Do not forget to update VERSION, BUILD/WPIBUILD, and VERSIONDATE in {{{Config.kmk}}}. Note that you should immediately increase the version number in SVN after the release (after tagging the SVN trunk with the release tag) and set BUILD to {{{beta}}} to indicate a new development phase. Right before the release, you end the development phase by changing BUILD from {{{beta}}} to {{{GA}}} and create a corresponding release tag in SVN.
     66
     67
     68=== Useful kBuild targets ===
     69
     70The following {{{kmk}}} targets (commands) may be of interest:
     71
     72  - clean           Cleans up the build by deleting all generated output.
     73  - uninstall       Deletes all installed files.
     74  - packing         Creates distribution archives in the output directory
     75  - fastpacking     (see GENERATING DISTRIBUTION ARCHIVES above).
     76
     77
     78=== Useful kBuild variables ===
     79
     80These are the frequently used variables which change the Lucide build or behavior. You may set them in the OS/2 environment, put them in your
     81{{{LocalConfig.kmk}}}, or pass them to {{{kmk}}} as command line arguments in the form of:
     82
     83  {{{VARIABLE=VALUE}}}
     84
     85  * BUILD_TYPE
     86
     87    Build type. May be set to "release" (default) or "debug".
     88
     89    Note that you may also pass "debug" or "release" as the first argument to the {{{env.cmd}}} script to set the build type to "debug".
     90
     91    Hint: If you use {{{se.cmd}}}, you may pass arguments to {{{env.cmd}}} and start {{{kmk}}} in one step, as in:
     92
     93  {{{se @(debug) kmk}}}
     94
     95  * KBUILD_VERBOSE
     96
     97    Level of kBuild verbosity. 1 to 3 (default is nothing, which means almost quiet). The highest level will make kBuild print every command it executes which is useful when something does not work like you want.
     98
     99== Useful links ==
     100
     101  * poppler library is found on poppler.freedesktop.org
     102  * djvu library is found djvu.sourceforge.net
     103  * jpeg library www.ijg.com
