                        Additional platforms such as FreeBSD and HP/UX are handled by the

                    <h2>Build Steps</h2>
                    <hr/>
                    <p>
                        Here are the steps that are required in order to build JOGL.
                    </p>

                    <ol>
                        <li><b>Optain the source code</b> using git:
                            <ul>
                                <li><a href="http://github.com/sgothel/gluegen">Gluegen Dev GIT Repo</a></li>
                                <li><a href="http://github.com/sgothel/jogl">JOGL Dev GIT Repo</a></li>
                            </ul><br/>
                            It is crucial that you checkout the source code under a common root directory:
                            <pre>
    /home/dude/projects/jogamp> git clone git://github.com/sgothel/gluegen.git  gluegen
    /home/dude/projects/jogamp> git clone git://github.com/sgothel/jogl.git jogl
                            </pre>
                            Now you should have following directory structure:
                            <pre>
    /home/dude/projects/jogamp
    /home/dude/projects/jogamp/gluegen
    /home/dude/projects/jogamp/jogl
                            </pre>
                        </li>

                        <li> <b>Unset your CLASSPATH environment variable:</b> <br/>
                            The Ant build requires that the JOGL jars not be visible on the classpath. On Unix, type
                            <code> unsetenv CLASSPATH </code> into a csh or tcsh shell, or <code> unset CLASSPATH </code>
                            into a Bourne shell. On Windows, type <code> set CLASSPATH= </code> into a command prompt.
                        </li>

                        <li> <b>Optional</b>  <i>Copy and edit <b>gluegen.properties</b>:</i> <br/>
                            To specify different basic options for components and compilers,<br/>
                            copy <b>gluegen/make/gluegen.properties</b> into your home directory (pointed to by the Java system property <b>user.home</b>). <br/></li>

                        <li> <b>Optional</b>  <i>Copy and edit <b>jogl.properties</b>:</i> <br/>
                            To specify different basic options for the build,<br/>
                            copy <b>jogl/make/jogl.properties</b> into your home directory (pointed to by the Java system property
                            <b>user.home</b>). <br/>
                            Edit the copy to change desired settings.
                        </li>

                        <li> <b>Build the source tree:</b> <br/>
                            Open a command shell in the "jogl/make" directory of the source tree and type <code>"ant"</code>.
                            <ul>
                                <li>
                                    An experimental binding to the high-level <a href="http://developer.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=cg_main">Cg</a>
                                    language by NVidia corporation can be generated by specifying <code>-Djogl.cg=1</code> to ant; e.g.
                                    <code>ant -Djogl.cg=1</code>. The Cg binding has been tested on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
                                </li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>

                        <li> <b>Test your build:</b> <br/> Stay in your command shell in the "jogl/make" directory of the source tree and type <code>"ant junit.run"</code>.</li>

                        <li> <b>Build Javadoc:</b> <br/> Stay in your command shell in the "jogl/make" directory of the source tree and type "<code>ant javadoc"</code>.
                            This will produce the end-user documentation for JOGL along with some auxiliary utility packages.
                        </li>
                    </ol>

                    Note that there are a lot of warnings produced by ANTLR about the
                    C grammar and our modifications to some of the signatures of the
                    productions; the C grammar warnings have been documented by the
                    author of the grammar as having been investigated completely and
                    harmless, and the warnings about our modifications are also
                    harmless.

                    <h2> Common build problems </h2>

                    <ol>

                        <li>
                            <b>Your CLASSPATH environment variable appears to be set (some JOGL classes are currently visible to the build.)</b>, and $CLASSPATH isn't set.
                            An older version of JOGL was installed into the extension directory of the JDK you're using to build the
                            current JOGL. On Windows and Linux, delete any ANTLR jars from jre/lib/ext, and on Mac OS X, delete them from
                            /Library/Java/Extensions. It is generally not a good idea to drop JOGL directly into the extensions directory,
                            as this can interfere with upgrades via Java Web Start.
                        </li>

                        <li>
                            <b>CharScanner; panic: ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.gluegen.cgram.CToken</b>

                            This occurs because ANTLR was dropped into the Extensions
                            directory of the JRE/JDK. On Windows and Linux, delete any ANTLR jars from jre/lib/ext,
                            and on Mac OS X, delete them from /Library/Java/Extensions. Use the antlr.jar property in the build.xml
                            to point to a JRE-external location of this jar file.
                        </li>

                    </ol>
