Build

[heshriti]

Hi,

Sorry, am not a java person. How do you make/compile the project. Suppose, I wish to make small change to source code, and compile in command line linux/unix- What compile tools do you need, and what is the full command that will produce studio.jar.

thank you.

Hi,

The latest master is built with gradle. Gradle installation instruction could be taken from here:
https://gradle.org/install/

The command to build from the root folder (from the folder with build.gradle):
gradle build.

When it is done, you should have build/distributions/kdbStudio.tar with executable and libs. Extract the archive and execute kdbStudio. Alternatively you can execute from gradle:

gradle run

Thanks. is it possible to create a studio.jar with all the classes in one file?

I tried to pack all classes from jars into a studio.jar, but it didn't work. I didn't look into this with details. On the another hand, I think it is strange to pack third party libraries into one big jar together.

No problem. although, I don't know why this is strange. isn't it the standard way to run studio: java -jar studio.jar? A simple, convenient interface to one jar- rather than setting classpath etc.

Anyway, no worries.
