jEdit Community - Resources for users of the jEdit Text Editor
Install from source
Submitted by tkuneck on Saturday, 27 August, 2005 - 03:31
The source package compiles quite nicely with a copy of apache ant and sun jdk 1.5 that I compiled myself. The documents also compile fine.

I'm running a linux system (LFS if your curious).
When I try to run jedit as the user that I used to compile the sources, jedit runs without errors. However, I get a bunch of permission errors when I run as another user as a result of attempting to read the document files, and then jedit comes up without a tip of the day, all the documentation does not work, general chaos ensues.

SO... can I build the installer so that I can install the minimal files elsewhere?!? What files are required at a minimum for installation?

Dunno if it helps, I didn't read the article yet, but maybe you find what you need in http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/280
 
Partial Solution

Vampire, thanks for the reply, that pushed me in the right direction definitely...

The file that I needed to update was the build.properties file. It stores the paths to the xml/docbook packages that are needed to build the html documentation.

I'm still left wondering what I need to do to package jedit... after I build the documentation, and then run the `ant dist` I still get no change in the jedit.jar. So I must be missing something... I have a jedit.jar that is 3149083 bites. Not sure what I need to do to add the documents to the jar.
