[kepler-dev] New instructions for building the trunk of Kepler...

[David Welker]

Hi Matt and everyone:

Here is how you would use the build system to build at the trunk 
(assuming you want to check out the trunk, which will check out all 
modules except for ptolemy.)

svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk kepler
cd kepler/modules/build-area
ant change-to -Dsuite=vanilla-trunk
ant run

Here are the same commands, but with some explanation.

1.) svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk kepler

This checks out the trunk of kepler including all the modules. Except, 
this doesn't check out ptolemy. This is a lengthy checkout, so be patient.

2.) cd kepler/modules/build-area

You need to change to this directory because this is where the build.xml 
that runs everything is located.

3.) ant change-to -Dsuite=vanilla-trunk

You need to do this to download ptolemy. Note, that temporarily, this 
will download Ptolemy to the directory ptolemy-trunk. The reason is 
because there already exists a ptolemy directory that is in use for 
another purpose.

4.) ant run

This will compile the code, build the kar files, and execute Kepler.

Hope this helps. As you requested, I am sending this email to kepler-dev 
as well.

Please also note that the checkout is a little larger now than it will 
be in the future as we make necessary modifications.
