Building Grendel:
Make sure you have the required (external) packages first. Then edit the top-level rules.mk file, setting the CLASSPATH and other variables appropriately for your system.
For now, we still have to use 'gmake -k' to ensure a full build, since we haven't finished getting rid of the back-end dependencies that cause the builds to fail. So use 'gmake -k' if you want to get anything usable.
We've run into some namespace collisions when building under Java 2 (JDK 1.2), so be aware that you may not get Grendel to build under Java 2 at the moment. On the other hand, 'gmake -k' may do the trick and you may end up with something tht runs. Your Mileage May Vary.
Running Grendel:
There are currently two ways you can run Grendel:
1. Set your CLASSPATH environment variable to include all the
required packages, then type 'java grendel.Main'.
2. Type 'make run' after building and watch it work.
What does Grendel do?
Currently, we've got the following:
- A nice, three-pane GUI
- Ability to open local mail folders
- Ability to parse and display (simple) HTML messages
More features are being worked on, but you can at least get a feel for what's happening with Grendel at this point.
