It runs now, though there is still a lot of work to be done.

Building Grendel:
Make sure you have the required (external) packages first.
You no longer have to set a CLASSPATH environment variable to build Grendel successfully. Just
follow the instructions below and you should be up and running pretty quickly.
Then:
./configure
gmake
1. Make sure you have the required (external) packages (see README.libs).
2. Copy the jars to the extlib directory. With OROMatcher, you'll have to create the jar yourself
from the binaries in the OROMatcher distribution. To do this, unpack the OROMatcher distribution
and cd to the top directory, then:
jar cvf OROMatcher.jar com
Copy the resulting OROMatcher.jar to the extlib directory in here.
3. Type 'make' and go get a cup of coffee or something. Grendel takes a little while to build.
4. Type 'make resources' to copy the application resources to the right locations in the binary
tree.
5. Binaries and application resources will now be in dist/classes.
6. Type 'make run' and test that Grendel works. If everything built successfully, it should.
7. If you want to make an executable jar to package up all the application's classes (minus the
external libraries), type 'make jar'. There is a manifest header file in dist/classes which sets
the main class so the Java VM can find it. You'll have to take care of setting up the class-
path if you want to run Grendel from the jar. Once you've done that, you can type:
java -jar dist/classes/Grendel.jar
and it should run Grendel for you.
8. To clean out the dist/classes directory of all build products, type 'make clean'.
The 'configure' script will create the Makefiles with all necessary CLASSPATH
settings and such set up appropriately for your system. You no longer have to
edit the Makefiles or set CLASSPATH manually.
NOTE TO MAC USERS:
We are no longer supporting JDK 1.1.x, so Grendel will not run on MacOS 9.x or earlier. You'll have
to upgrade to Mac OS X if you want to run Grendel. Support for building with Project Builder is
forthcoming. Please note also that the application settings in Project Builder (especially the
MRJAppBuilder related settings) should NOT be changed without a VERY compelling reason. Changing
these settings may cause Grendel to fail to run in your particular environment. The creator code
'GRen' is registered with Apple, so please don't change that setting. If you want to use Icon
Composer to change the application icons to something you like better than an envelope, go ahead.
You'll find the Project Builder project and resource files in PBProj/Grendel.pbproj and
PBProj/Grendel.icns. Project Builder will put the build products in PBProj/build.
NOTE TO ALL USERS/DEVELOPERS:
If you add directories, copy one of the Makefiles from a neighbouring directory to use as a
template for your Makefiles. This will help ensure that you have all the right things set up in
your Makefiles for your new modules to build correctly. If you add sources to existing directories,
be sure to add the source file names to the SOURCES list in that directory's Makefile. If you add
new external library dependencies for a new module you're contributing, be sure to add the new
jar to the LIBS definition in rules.mk, then check rules.mk in after you've verified your build.
Also be sure to add the new external library to README.libs so everyone knows about it.
'configure' will look for three specific Java compilers (in this order):
1. 'javac-ea' - early access of next-generation Java compiler from
Java Software (Sun)
If you must edit any of the Makefiles to make changes specific to your environment, but not
generally useful to everyone, please, please, PLEASE DO NOT check the Makefiles in. You should
actually have no need to edit the Makefiles as they are currently, unless you really truly
cannot copy the required jars to extlib (which should never be the case).
2. 'javac' - standard Sun JDK compiler
3. 'jikes' - IBM's Java-compatible compiler (included because some
people like to use it instead of 'javac')
'configure' will use whichever of these three it finds first as the compiler
for Grendel.
Running Grendel:
There are currently two ways you can run Grendel:
1. Type 'java grendel.Main' (with the correct CLASSPATH, or you can
use the '-classpath' option to set the classpath on the
command-line)
2. Type 'make run' after building and watch it work.
Editing Makefiles:
Do not edit the generated Makefiles as they will be overwritten when you next
run 'configure' or 'configure.status'. If you want to change something in the
Makefiles, or add or delete targets, edit the Makefile.in files.
If you edit 'configure.in' you will need to run GNU autoconf to remake the
'configure' script. If you don't have GNU autoconf and don't want to get it,
just don't go there.
Happy haquing!
