1. Development tools cvs, tkdiff, JBuilder, building GATE from the sources

2. 2(10) Windows setup Choose an apps directory (usually c:\apps or d:\apps) Map it as W:\ ( subst w: c:\apps ) Install all apps in w:\ or c:\Program Files –Java 1.x.y goes into w:\jdk\j2sdk1.x.y –JBuilder goes into w:\JBuilder Choose a work directory (e.g. c:\john\work) Mount it as Z:\ ( subst z: c:\john\work ) –All project directories go in z:\ (e.g. z:\gate, z:\sale, etc)

5. 5(10) cvs – Concurrent Versions System Set a variable in your environment: CVSROOT= :pserver:username@derwent.dcs.shef.ac.uk:/share/nlp/src /CVS_Repository Get a local copy of a project (e.g. GATE): > cd z:/ > cvs co gate

6. 6(10) cvs - more Update an existing local copy (get other people’s changes): > cd z:/gate > cvs update -dP Save your changes: Update first! Fix any conflicts! > cvs ci –m “message describing the changes” Get details on changes for a file (directory) > cvs log [file] Read the cvs documentation on http://redmireshttp://redmires

7. 7(10) tkdiff – a Visual diff Get from http://www.accurev.com/free/tkdiff/index.htm http://www.accurev.com/free/tkdiff/index.htm Copy tkdiff.tcl somewhere (e.g. w:\tkdiff\tkdiff.tcl) Make a script called tkdiff in a directory in your path containing: #!/bin/sh wish /cygdrive/w/tkdiff/tkdiff.tcl $* & Usage: –tkdiff fileA fileB –tkdiff file –tkdiff –r 1.12 file –tkdiff –r 1.12 –r 1.11 file

10. 10(10) Putting all together - building GATE check out gate from cvs configure the make script > cd gate/build >./configure make the dependencies > make depend compile the classes > make make the jar > make jar try it! > make run
