Building the Vecmath Packages

To build the vecmath packages, you must first download the vecmath CVS repository:

NOTE: this top-level directory must be named "vecmath".

System Requirements

Vecmath is 100% Java, so any operating environment that supports J2SE should work.  We have built vecmath on the following operating environments:

• Solaris: Sparc (Ultra60 or better) running Solaris 9
• Linux: i386/i586 running SuSE 9 or RedHat 9.0
• Windows: Windows/XP (Windows 2000 should work, but is untested)
  

The following software must be installed:

• JDK 1.4.2 
  
• Apache Ant 1.6.1 
  

Building Vecmath

Before you start building, please check that your PATH must include the following directories:
    .    <ant-root-dir>/bin
    .    <jdk-root_dir>/bin

The default target, jar-opt, creates an optimized jar files.

Steps:

    cd <java3d-root-dir>/vecmath
    ant

This will build the javax.vecmath package.  The build will be put in vecmath/build/opt

Other targets can be found by typing "ant -projecthelp".  Note that ant
must be run from the top-level directory.
