Tutorial: compiling

Prerequisites

To compile ChesterGL you will need the following below.

1. Python
2. Java
3. Closure Library
4. Closure Compiler
5. JSDoc Toolkit 2 (Only for generating docs)

Compiling

The compiler is just simple python script in the root directory. All you have to do is set the correct locations of the libraries and execute it.

Considering you won't have everything installed in the same spot you will have to set different arguments. For example not everyone has python in there environment, you will set python directory using the option flag.

C:\Python27\python.exe compile.py -python C:\Python27\Python.exe

Here is a list of all the variables you can set.

Option	Description	Options	Default
-mode	Set's the compile type	debug, release	release
-fetch	Fetches external files e.g. jQuery	false, true	true
-docs	Generates the docs	false, true	false
-output, -o	Directory to output files	A directory	./html
-python	File path to python	A File	python
-java	File path to java	A File	java
-jsdoc	Directory to JSDOc	A directory	/Applications/jsdoc-toolkit
-ccompiler	Directory to closure compiler	A directory	/Applications/closure-compiler
-clib	Directory to closure library	A directory	/Applications/closure-library
-cjar	File name of the compiler in the closure compiler folder	File name	compiler,jar

Example command line

C:/Python27/python.exe compile.py -mode=release -output ./release -clib ./closure-library -ccompiler ./closure-library -jsdoc ../jsdoc-toolkit -python C:\python27\python.exe
