[Netrexx-develop] how to build netrexx 4.01 alpha

[René J. <rvj...@xs...>]

You might be interested in building NetRexx 4.01 alpha for testing purposes. This is a short explanation on what to do:

git fetch

(this pulls in remote branches)

git checkout netrexx4

(this switches your local workspace to the netrexx4 branch)

now build as usual.

Notes:

1) building needs Java 8. The resulting compiler runs under Java 9+. I tested with openjdk 13 on macOS (Intel) and openjdk 14 on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 on ARM-64.
2) GraalVM 11 does not work yet (on any platform)
3) Some programs error out when using the NetRexx Interpreter (-exec)

git checkout master
will bring you back to the master branch, which is currently at NetRexx 3.11 pre-release.

best regards,

René.
