====== How to build jMax ======

Running:

<code bash>
make -k
</code>

In the trunk directory will build jMax Phoenix. 

Please notes that the build will be done the ''~/tmp/jmax/build'' directory, i.e. intermediate files
are not created within the jMax source tree but outside of it. Deleting ''~/tmp/jmax/build'' will make
a complete clean of the compilation in any situation.

The jMax distribution will be created in ''~/distrib/jmax/''.

Under Windows/cygwin, the build will be create in ''/tmp/jmax/buil'' and the distribution
in ''/tmp/jmax/distrib''.


You can change these directories by editing the file trunk/core/Makefiles/Makefile.config and
the files trunk/core/build.properties.*.

Compilation mode can be ''opt'' or ''debug''. You can also modify the ''default'' target script in the ''trunk/Makefile'' if you know
what you are doing.

The makefile will run several C and Java compilation.

If you get an error at this point, you may miss something in your installation, or having
a bigger problem. Please, contact the developer mailing list, sending the complete compilation
output in your mail.

Please note that the build process will build a snapshot tar corresponding to the state of your 
copy of the sources.

The snapshot will be named ''jmax.//osname//.//architecture//.//revision//.tgz.
Revision will be something like r163. If the revision ends with an M, like in r163M, or include
two numbers, like r160.163M, it means
that there are local modifications in your copy of the sources, and the snapshot do not correspond
to the state of the svn. 
In order to produce a snapshot that correspond to the state of the svn, check the script
described [[jMaxSnapShot | here ]].
