Compiling GUESS

[Borg]

Hello.

I dont have eclipse nor ant but I want to compile Guess 1.0.3b because
I want try to fix that GEM layout bug.

Can someone please provide me Makefile export from Eclipse?
Or anything that can list all *.java sources in properl order and
depends?

I can then post here GNU make Makefile for Guess.

Regards,
Borg

Eclipse isn't used to compile GUESS... I use ant.  There's a build.xml file in the CVS repository.

You'll need Ant (http://ant.apache.org/)
and JavaCC (https://javacc.dev.java.net/)

and will need to modify your path and build.xml to point to where you installed these things

Eclipse is a free download as you probably know and it is fairly straightforward to import the source files. I have attached the GEM Layout source that was delivered some time ago. This is not likely the current version since I have not downloaded Guess in a while.  If this is the sort of information you need, I might be able to upgrade my copy of Guess and send it to you.

Okey. I got the ant.. I got the javacc 2.1.
Still nothing.

I placed javacc2 inside c:\java\javacc and I get this:
BUILD FAILED
U:\DEVEL\JAVA\guess.tmp\build.xml:151: failed to load JavaCC

I wonder whats wrong w/ simple makefiles and JDK..

so is your structure c:\java\javacc\javacc-something\bin\...
or
c:\java\javacc\bin\...

the buildfile expects the second

-E

If I extra JavaCC2_1.zip
I get this error
BUILD FAILED
U:\DEVEL\JAVA\guess.tmp\build.xml:151: Could not find a path to
JavaCC.zip or ja
vacc.jar from 'c:\java\javacc'.
Inside that zip there is JavaCC2_1.class
and dir: examples.

I dont get it..

You will need to do this regardless of whether you use ant, eclipse, makefiles, or manually compile every file, and I'm really not sure what the hard part is.

step 1) download JavaCC (https://javacc.dev.java.net/files/documents/17/117794/javacc-4.2.zip) or whatever the newest version is on (https://javacc.dev.java.net/)

step 2) extract the stuff from the zip, put it wherever you want

step 3) take note of where the "bin" directory of JavaCC ends up.  Mine is c:\java\javacc\bin  yours might be c:\java\javacc\javacc4.2\bin or c:\java\magical\directory\bin

step 4) modify build.xml, find the _two_ places that set the avacchome variable and set those to the directory that _contains_  the bin directory (just look for c:\\java\\javac), so yours might be:

c:\\java\\javacc or c:\\java\\javacc\\javacc4.2 or c:\\java\\magical\\directory

(note the double slashes)

step 5) enjoy

Okey, thx a lot.. this helped
Now I get A LOT of error about unresolved symbols

compile:
[javac] Compiling 436 source files to U:\DEVEL\JAVA\guess.tmp
\build
[javac] U:\DEVEL\JAVA\guess.tmp\src\com\hp\hpl\guess\piccolo

I have jdk-1.5 at my disposal, also I downloaded
jmf-2_1_1e-alljava.zip and added some of *.jar into lib/

What else I need?

Okey.. I managed to compile guess at least partly...
All I was need was just GEM class anyway.

Luicky I fixed that bug :)
Patch posted on origin post :)
