## Build instructions
#### Java compatibility note
It is recommended to use JDK 1.8 for building Millfork.
If you have multiple Java versions installed, enter
`set JAVA_HOME=PATH_TO_JAVA\bin ` (Windows)
`export JAVA_HOME=PATH_TO_JAVA/bin ` (Mac/Linux)
(where PATH_TO_JAVA is a path to one of your JDK installations)
into the command line before running sbt to choose a JDK.
### Building without tests
Setting up the test suite for Millfork is tricky, so if you don't need the tests, you can remove them.
#### Prerequisites
* JDK 1.8
* sbt
#### Steps
2020-11-02 12:47:16 +00:00
* run `sbt -DskipTests compile`
2020-07-31 22:36:57 +00:00
to compile the project

2020-11-02 12:47:16 +00:00
* run `sbt -DskipTests assembly`
2020-07-31 22:36:57 +00:00
to build the executable jar file, it should appear in `target/scala-2.12`

### Building with tests
Test suite is useful if you plan on modifying the compiler. Some test dependencies need manual installation.
#### Prerequisites
2020-09-22 15:59:32 +00:00
* JDK 1.8 or later
* Millfork up to version 0.3.22 used to require exactly JDK 1.8 with Nashorn,
as the tests didn't work on newer versions

* sbt
* Maven
#### Steps
* download the dependencies that are not available in a central repository:

* for each of them, run `maven package` and `maven install`
* navigate to the project directory
2020-11-02 12:47:16 +00:00
* run `sbt compile` to compile the project

2021-02-28 19:55:08 +00:00
* run `sbt assembly` to build the executable jar file, it should appear in `target/scala-2.12`

### Building a native executable
This is experimental.
#### Prerequisites
* an executable jar with Millfork (see above)
* GraalVM 19 or later
* native-image
* other tools required by native-image, appropriate for your operating system and GraalVM version (for example, Windows SDK 7.1 on Windows)
* a lot of RAM
#### Steps
* navigate to the directory containing the jar, most likely `target/scala-2.12`
* run `native-image -jar millfork.jar` to build a native executable for your operating system
