[Cdk-user] Installation procedure

[Noel O'B. <noe...@uc...>]

Dear all,

I think I've figured out how to compile the CDK, and since nobody has
already posted this to the mailing list, this may be of help to
someone...

You need ant, ant-junit and ant-nodeps from jpackage.org.

If you want to use R through the CDK you need to get SJava-0.86-0.tar.gz
from Omegahat, and run as superuser "R CMD INSTALL SJava...tar.gz".
(assuming that you have already installed R)

You need to pass -Dpathtojava3d=".../jdk1.5.0/lib/ext" everytime you run
ant (or otherwise it doesn't pick up on Java3D).

[if you want to create the JOELib/CDK lib, you need to do something more
here]

'ant -Dpathtojava3d="..." info' gives:
     [echo] Platform:

It seems to compile fine with: 'ant -dpathtojava3D="..."' (although with
some JavaDoc errors) and 'ant test' gives 5 failures out of 902, which
is pretty alright (some may be due to the lack of JOELib, for instance).

Regards,
Noel.
