How to compile Jigsaw

Jigsaw is delivered with a set of makefiles, so you can use the make tool to compile Jigsaw.

On UNIX machine

According to your shell (for example bash), just set the following environment variable:
MAKEDIR = <instdir>/Jigsaw/src/makefiles

export MAKEDIR

Now you have to update your CLASSPATH to compile Jigsaw and use the new compiled classes.

CLASSPATH = <instdir>/Jigsaw/src:...

instead of

CLASSPATH = <instdir>/Jigsaw/classes/jigsaw.zip:...

then

export CLASSPATH

Then you can use make in any directory under <instdir>/Jigsaw/Jigsaw/src.

On Windows Machine

You can use the make tool from the GNU tools for Windows.

Then you just have to set the same environment variable (with bash):

MAKEDIR = <instdir>\Jigsaw\src\makefiles

export MAKEDIR

And your CLASSPATH should become:

CLASSPATH = <instdir>\Jigsaw\src:...

instead of

CLASSPATH = <instdir>\Jigsaw\classes\jigsaw.zip:...

then

export CLASSPATH

Then you can use make in any directory under <instdir>\Jigsaw\Jigsaw\src.
