|
|
//// Steps for First Time Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. INSTALL DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
|
|
|
|
1a. On Windows, install Cygwin. It's downloadable from
|
|
www.cygwin.com or specifically: www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
|
|
|
|
** of the packages, begin with the defaults, and add:
|
|
|
|
+ subversion - used for version control
|
|
|
|
+ make, gcc-mingw, and g++ - used to build processing.exe
|
|
(this will also pull in gcc-core)
|
|
|
|
+ perl - use this version from cygwin, activestate or other windows
|
|
perl distributions have trouble
|
|
|
|
+ unzip, zip - for dealing with archives
|
|
|
|
+ included in the defaults, but make sure: coreutils, gzip, tar
|
|
|
|
+ not required but useful:
|
|
openssh - command line ssh client
|
|
nano - handy/simple text editor (gnu pico ripoff)
|
|
|
|
** and be sure to leave the option selected for 'unix line endings'
|
|
|
|
the cygwin installer is sometimes a little flakey, so it may take more
|
|
than one try to get everything in there. in fact, it's often best to
|
|
run the installer once, and let it install all its defaults, then run
|
|
it again, and select the items above. it's also useful to run the
|
|
installer every few months to keep things fresh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1b. On Mac OS X, install Apple's Developer Tools (Xcode).
|
|
|
|
You'll also need subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/
|
|
Install it from Fink, Darwinports, or download as a package:
|
|
http://metissian.com/projects/macosx/subversion/
|
|
|
|
|
|
1c. On Linux, you're pretty much on your own.. You need a pretty
|
|
standard development setup along with Subversion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. GRAB THE CODE FROM DEV.PROCESSING.ORG
|
|
|
|
As of August 12, 2005, we're no longer using CVS and have moved on to
|
|
the brave new world of Subversion. This is scary but hopefully will
|
|
alleviate some of the CVS annoyances.
|
|
|
|
To get the code, type this from a prompt:
|
|
svn co svn://processing.org/trunk/processing
|
|
|
|
That part may take a while, especially for people outside the US or
|
|
who have a slow internet connection. (The JRE binaries are stored in
|
|
SVN so that we can properly test on the exact platform/runtime setup
|
|
that we'll be releasing.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. INSTALL QUICKTIME FOR JAVA (Windows users only)
|
|
|
|
* You'll also need to install QuickTime for Java. Grab the QuickTime
|
|
(and iTunes) installer from: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
|
|
or a version that doesn't include iTunes from here:
|
|
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
|
|
As of QuickTime 7 (iTunes 6), QuickTime for Java is mercifully
|
|
included by default.
|
|
|
|
* QuickTime 6 is no longer supported. QuickTime Alternative has
|
|
never been supported. Just use QuickTime 7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. BUILD IT
|
|
|
|
# now to build for the first time:
|
|
cd /path/to/processing/build/windows
|
|
|
|
# or if you're on linux
|
|
cd /path/to/processing/build/linux
|
|
|
|
# let's say you're into black turtlenecks and jeans
|
|
cd /path/to/processing/build/macosx
|
|
|
|
# and then..
|
|
./make.sh
|
|
|
|
# if everything went well, you'll have no errors. (feel free to make
|
|
# suggestions for things to include here for common problems)
|
|
|
|
# then to run it
|
|
./run.sh
|
|
|
|
# each time you make a change, use make to build the thing
|
|
# and run to get it up and running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
|
|
|
|
//// Updating to the Latest Version
|
|
|
|
|
|
5a. Each time you want to update to latest version:
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/processing
|
|
svn update
|
|
|
|
|
|
5b. If you're getting strange errors when you try to build, especially
|
|
if new folders have been added to the Processing repository, remove
|
|
your 'work' folder and rebuild. Generally, this is a good idea to
|
|
do whenever a new release has been made, since that will involve
|
|
files that may have been changed (or folders that have been moved).
|
|
|
|
# get to the processing folder
|
|
cd /path/to/processing
|
|
|
|
# remove the work directory
|
|
cd build/yourplatform
|
|
rm -rf work
|
|
|
|
# and try again
|
|
./make.sh
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately there isn't a way to know if new folders have
|
|
since been added. but if you're getting "class not found" errors
|
|
while building, then that's a good indicator that something is
|
|
missing from a subfolder.
|
|
|
|
|

|
//// The Frequently Asked Question
|
|
|
|
- What about Eclipse? What about Ant? Command line sucks.
|
|
|
|
The command line stuff isn't as scary as it might initially
|
|
seem. Hopefully it's just a matter of following the instructions above
|
|
(and being patient). If not, let us know (via the discourse board)
|
|
where you have trouble so we can fix things.
|
|
|
|
We're slowly moving development over to Eclipse, which will probably
|
|
include Ant because of cross-platform dependencies. As of release 0140,
|
|
major changes are being implemented to simplify the build process,
|
|
which should mean that we're pretty close. The environment and all
|
|
the libraries build properly with Eclipse, however we won't be
|
|
documenting it until the dust has settled.
|
|
|
|
Some progress has been made by John Houck to get the scripts working
|
|
under ANT, progress can be tracked here:
