<OL>
- <LI> <B>Install the JDK:</B> <br> the JOGL build requires JDK 1.4.2 or later. On AMD64 platforms such as Linux/AMD64, Solaris/AMD64 and Windows/AMD64, the build requires the Sun JDK 5.0 or later, as the 1.4.2 releases did not have an AMD64-specific JVM. On these platforms, it is also currently necessary to have e.g. <code>bin/amd64/java</code> in your PATH, although from a technical standpoint this could be worked around in the build process.
- <LI> <B>Install Ant:</B> <br> Download and unpack the latest version of Ant from <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">http://ant.apache.org</a> and add the <code>bin/</code> subdirectory to your PATH environment variable.
- <LI> <B>Install ANTLR:</B> <br> Download and unpack the latest version of ANTLR from <a href="http://www.antlr.org">http://www.antlr.org</a>. Only the jar file is needed.
-
- <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> <B>Check out the GlueGen source tree:</B> <br> JOGL relies on the GlueGen project to autogenerate most of the Java and JNI code for the OpenGL interface. The <code>jogl/</code> and <code>gluegen/</code> workspaces must be side-by-side in order for JOGL to build properly.
-
- <LI> <B>Copy and edit gluegen.properties:</B> <br>
- Copy <b>make/gluegen.properties</b> from the GlueGen workspace into your home directory (pointed to by the Java system property <b>user.home</b>). <br>
- Edit the copy to change the location of the ANTLR jar file (typically <b>$HOME/antlr-2.7.2/antlr.jar</b>).
-
- <LI> <B>Copy and edit jogl.properties:</B> <br>
- Copy <b>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 any settings that are necessary, in particular the setting of win32.c.compiler on Windows platforms (one of "vc6", "vc7", "vc8", "vc8_x64", or "mingw"). Note that on Windows 64-bit platforms the Professional edition of the Microsoft compilers is required.
- <UL>
- <LI>The Windows build requires one of Microsoft Visual C++ 6, 7 (Visual Studio .NET), 8 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2005) or the free MinGW (<a href="http://www.mingw.org/">http://www.mingw.org/</a>) compilers to be installed. Choose the appropriate setting of win32.c.compiler for the compiler being used. The C compiler executable (cl.exe, gcc.exe) must be in your PATH; see below.
- <LI> When building with VC6, VC7, or VC8, you must first run the <code>vcvars32.bat</code> environment variable setup script from the appropriate version of Visual C++. The Windows C compiler you choose in jogl.properties (i.e., <code>win32.c.compiler=vc6</code>) must match the version of the compiler from which you executed <code>vcvars32.bat</code>. No error checking is done on the compiler version used, so please be careful.

- <LI> <B>Build the source tree:</B> <br> Open a command shell in the "make" directory of the source tree and type "ant"</code>.

+ <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

- <LI> <B>Build Javadoc:</B> <br> "ant javadoc" will produce the end-user documentation for JOGL along with some auxiliary utility packages. The developers' documentation, including that for the GlueGen tool, can be generated for your current platform using one of the following commands: "ant javadoc.dev.win32", "ant javadoc.dev.x11", or "ant javadoc.dev.macosx". (The javadoc for the Cg binding can be built by inserting <code>-Djogl.cg=1</code> into the command line as above.)
