Eclipse-build aims to ease the building of the Eclipse SDK for Linux distributions.
Contents
Prerequisites for building with eclipse-build
- A 1.6 JDK installed in a standard place (see build.properties)
- Ensure JAVA_HOME is set (e.g., export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java)
- Ant version 1.8.2 or newer
- bash, sh, perl, sed, below requirements for particular distro
- icu4j; jsch; java.servlet 2.5; javax.servlet.jsp 2.0; Apache Commons: codec, EL, httpclient, logging; jasper; lucene; hamcrest; jetty; ASM; SAT4J
- At least 3 GB of storage available
- Xvnc (Fedora: tigervnc-server package) if you want the tests to run and not touch your main display
How To build Eclipse SDK with eclipse-build released tarballs
- Download and extract the latest eclipse-build*.tar.gz (pick the appropriate directory for the release you want)
- Download the SDK and SDK tests source tarballs from the same directory and put them in the eclipse-build* directory. NOTE: eclipse-build provides source tarballs created from the same tag as the official releases but with additional sources needed for the build.
- Run ant (you will likely need to ensure that JAVA_HOME points to your JDK installation directory)
If the build finishes without error there will be a build/eclipse-$YOUR_BUILD_ID-src/installation directory containing a ready-to-use Eclipse SDK. Eclipse-build is verified to work on x86, x86_64 and ppc architectures. Eclipse-build has been successfully tested on Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, and RHEL. Refer to distribution-specific instructions below. We are interested in reports of success on other distributions. Please let us know via linuxtools-dev@eclipse.org.
Optional: ant runTests. Look for test results (a few hours running time) in tests_<timestamp>/results/html/org.eclipse.sdk.tests.html. http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-build.git/
How to build Eclipse SDK from git clone of eclipse-build
- You can clone our git repo as below or you can clone using EGit. It is preferred that patches are generated from within Eclipse. All patches must be submitted via http://bugs.eclipse.org eclipse.org bugzilla.
- git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-build.git/
- cd org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-build/eclipse-build
- ln -s ../eclipse-build-config
- ln -s ../eclipse-build-feature
- Download SDK sources (other versions available here) and put them in the eclipse-build directory NOTE: eclipse-build provides source tarballs created from the same tag as the official releases but with additional sources needed for the build.
- Optional: download the SDK test sources and SDK test scripts and put them in the eclipse-build directory.
- Run ant
- Check for successful build in build/eclipse-$YOUR_BUILD_ID-src/installation
- Optional: ant runTests. Look for test results (a few hours running time) in testResults-${timestamp}/html/org.eclipse.sdk.tests.html.
Submitting patches
- Clone our git repository: http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-build.git/
- It is preferred that patches are generated from within Eclipse (use EGit. All patches must be submitted via http://bugs.eclipse.org eclipse.org bugzila
Debian/Ubuntu Build Requirements
On Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" (and later) you can simply run "sudo apt-get build-dep eclipse && sudo aptitude install build-essential" to install those packages.
The list of build dependencies (excluding build-essential) can be found here (see Build-Depends).
Build Debs from upstream source
These instructions are a kludge and not best practice, but they should get you a deb, hopefully.
- Get the eclipse build from the Git repository as detailed in the "get from source section" above
- Comment out the delete configuration section in the build.xml?
- Get the eclipse SDK/PDE source from the download site listed above, and put in the eclipse-build directory, and a copy underneath the
- Get the debian directory from master-3.6 out of the java-pkg on git.debian.org
- put the debian directory inside the build eclipse directory
- in the debian directory edit changes as appropriate
- run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b
- Cross fingers and hope it works
- Go away and a have a coffee, and do the laundry; it will take about 30 minutes to compile on Core Duo
- Hopefully you'll have your shiny deb files for eclipse
Fedora Build Requirements
On Fedora, just run yum-builddep eclipse to get the build dependencies (including the dependencies to which the Fedora package is symlinked). You must also ensure you have the following installed (the latter to run the tests): patch tigervnc-server.
To-do list
- See eclipse-build open bugs
- Add an item
- In Eclipse bugzilla, watch linux.packagingtools-inbox@eclipse.org if you want to be notified of new bugs
Planned items
- Move away from dropins for JDT, PDE, etc.
- Add ability to build only given feature e.g org.eclipse.swt (Maybe)
Testing
See tests for how to build and run the SDK tests and to report results and check if others are working on common failures.
