<p>Metacat source can be downloaded either by getting and extracting the
|
| 57 |
|
|
source distribution, or by checking out the code from the repository.</p>
|
| 58 |
|
|
|
| 59 |
|
|
<p>Reasons for choosing one versus the other might be:</p>
|
| 60 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 61 |
|
|
<li>Source Distribution - this is a faster download since the code is compressed. You
|
| 62 |
|
|
might choose this if you want a stable versioned release, but you prefer to have
|
| 63 |
|
|
all of your applications built on the server where it will run. (Although it shouldn't
|
| 64 |
|
|
matter where a java application is built.)</li>
|
| 65 |
|
|
<li>SVN Checkout - there are several reasons for choosing a checked out version of
|
| 66 |
|
|
the code. One is that you may want to build from the head of the code to pick up
|
| 67 |
|
|
new changes that are not yet in a versioned build. Conversely, you may want to build
|
| 68 |
|
|
off of an older tag, to avoid an issue that was introduced in a build. Lastly, you
|
| 69 |
|
|
may want to develop and submit code to the Metacat repository</li>
|
| 70 |
|
|
</ul>

|
<p>You will also need Apache Ant to do the build. If you have not already
|
| 73 |
|
|
installed Ant and you are running Ubuntu/Debian, you can get it by typing:</p>
|
| 74 |
|
|
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install ant</div>
|
| 75 |
4637
|
daigle
|
|
| 76 |
4646
|
daigle
|
<p>Otherwise, you can get ant from
|
| 77 |
|
|
<a href="http://ant.apache.org/">The Apache Ant homepage</a></p>

|
<p>If you are checking out Metacat code from the SVN repository, you will need both
|
| 80 |
|
|
Subversion (SVN) and CVS clients installed and configured on your system. Both are needed
|
| 81 |
|
|
because, while Metacat has been migrated to SVN, some of its supporting libraries (eml,
|
| 82 |
|
|
utilities and seek) have not yet been migrated. Eventually, SVN will be the only versioning
|
| 83 |
|
|
client you will need. You will need to make sure you have the appropriate accounts on these
|
| 84 |
|
|
systems. You won't have to worry about SVN or CVS if you are installing from a Metacat
|
| 85 |
|
|
source distribution. These have all the required dependencies built in.</p>

|
<p>If you have not already installed Subversion and you are running Ubuntu/Debian, you can
|
| 88 |
|
|
get it by typing:</p>
|
| 89 |
|
|
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install subversion</div>
|
| 90 |
|
|
|
| 91 |

<p>Otherwise, you can get if from <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org">The Subversion homepage</a></p>

|

|
|
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install cvs</div>

In the Metacat section, for Linux based systems, select the link that looks like:</p>
|
| 106 |
|
|
<div class="code">metacat-src-X.X.X.tar.gz</div>
|
| 107 |
|
|
<p>for Windows systems, select the link that looks like:</p>
|
| 108 |
|
|
<div class="code">metacat-src-X.X.X.zip</div>
|
| 109 |
|
|
<p>where X.X.X is the latest version of Metacat. Choose to save the file locally in the directory
|
| 110 |
|
|
where your source should live.</p>
|
| 111 |
|
|
<p>Extract the Metacat package files on Linux systems by typing:
|
| 112 |
|
|
<div class="code">tar -xvzf metacat-src-X.X.X.tar.gz</div>
|
| 113 |
|
|
<p>or, on Windows, use your system unzip utility to extract the zip file.</p>
|
| 114 |
4646
|
daigle
|
<p>Rename the metacat-X.X.X directory to metacat.</p>

<a name="SVN"></a><div class="header2">SVN Checkout</div>
|

|
|
<p>To check out the code from SVN, go to the directory where you would like the code
|
| 118 |
|
|
to live and type:</p>
|
| 119 |
|
|
<div class="code">svn co https://code.ecoinformatics.org/code/metacat/tags/METACAT_<rev> metacat</div>
|
| 120 |
4646
|
daigle
|
<p>Where <rev> is the version of the code you want to check out (like 1_9). </p>
|
| 121 |
4637
|
daigle
|
|
| 122 |
|
|
<p>If you are trying to check out the head, type:</p>
|
| 123 |
|
|
<div class="code">svn co https://code.ecoinformatics.org/code/metacat/trunk metacat</div>
|
| 124 |
|
|
|
| 125 |
|
|
<p>You should see a list of files as they check out.</p>
|
| 126 |
|
|
|
| 127 |
|
|
<a name="BuildFromSource"></a><div class="header1">Build From Source</div>
|
| 128 |
|
|
<p>You should now have the Metacat source in a directory named "metacat" in your
|
| 129 |
|
|
code directory (We will refer to the metacat source directory as <metacat_src_dir>.
|
| 130 |
|
|
|
| 131 |
|
|
<a name="PrepareBuild"></a><div class="header2">Prepare Build</div>
|
| 132 |
|
|
<p>Edit the file at:</p>
|
| 133 |
|
|
<div class="code"><metacat_src_dir>/build.properties</div>
|
| 134 |
|
|
<p>Make sure that the "build.tomcat.dir" property is set to your tomcat installation
|
| 135 |
|
|
directory. For instance:</p>
|
| 136 |
|
|
<div class="code">build.tomcat.dir=/usr/local/tomcat</div>
|
| 137 |
|
|
<p>Metacat will use some of the native Tomcat libraries during the build.</p>
|
| 138 |
|
|
|
| 139 |
|
|
<p>If your cvs user is something other than the user your are logged in as, you
|
| 140 |
|
|
will need to change the ${env.USER} part of the cvsroot property to be your cvs
|
| 141 |
|
|
user. For instance:</p>
|
| 142 |
|
|
<div class="code">cvsroot=:ext:cvs-user@cvs.ecoinformatics.org:/cvs</div>
|
| 143 |
|
|
<p> where your cvs user name is "cvs-user"</p>
|
| 144 |
|
|
|
| 145 |
|
|
<a name="DoAntBuild"></a><div class="header2">Do Ant Build</div>
|
| 146 |
|
|
<p>In the <metacat_src_dir>, run: </p>
|
| 147 |
4646
|
daigle
|
<div class="code">ant clean build-metacat</div>
|
| 148 |
4637
|
daigle
|
|
| 149 |
|
|
<p>You will see the individual modules get built. You will be prompted
|
| 150 |
|
|
for your cvs password several times. You should see a "BUILD SUCCESSFUL"
|
| 151 |
|
|
message at the end.</p>
|
| 152 |
|
|
|
| 153 |
|
|
<p>You should see a new file named:</p>
|
| 154 |
|
|
<div class="code"><metacat_src_dir>/dist/knb.war</div>
