The KinomaJS Open Source Build can be built on MacOS X (Yosemite) and Linux 32-bit (Ubuntu 14.04). It requires Java version 7 or 8 and a number of readily available tools.
This document describes the setup and commands needed to build an application and simulator for KinomaJS.
A MacOS X (Yosemite) build host is necessary to build KinomaJS for MacOS, iOS and Android. There is an option to build an Xcode project to more easily develop for iOS and MacOS.
An Ubuntu 14.04 build host is necessary to build KinomaJS for the Linux GTK desktop and the Kinoma Create device.
Once the setup is done, building is pretty easy:
ant -Dtarget.platform=<target>
To build a debug version:
ant -Dtarget.platform=<target> -Dbuild.type=Debug
To build clean
ant -Dtarget.platform=<target> clean
Where <target> is one of:
mac
iphone/device
iphone/simulator
android
linux/aspen (Kinoma Create)
linux/gtk
win
For MacOS, Homebrew is employed to help manage the installation and maintenance of ant, cmake and Java.
-
Get a current version of Xcode from Apple’s App Store Make sure you run the Xcode app at least once so you can accept the license agreement and install updates.
-
Install Homebrew (http://brew.sh/)
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" $ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask -
Install Java, ant and cmake
$ brew cask install java $ brew install ant $ brew install cmake -
Get the tree From a web browser: http://github.org/kinoma/kinomajs or from the command line:
git clone https://github.com/kinoma/kinomajs.git -
Set up your environment
$ export F_HOME=/path/to/kinomajs $ export XS_HOME=$F_HOME/xs -
Build the app
$ cd $F_HOME $ ant -Dtarget.platform=mac -
Run the app: From the Finder:
Go to $F_HOME/bin/mac/Release/balls/balls.app
Or from the command line:
$ open $F_HOME/bin/mac/Release/balls/balls.app
Versions: XCode version 6.1.1 Java version 1.8.0_25 cmake 3.0.2 ant 1.9.4
The iOS build of KinomaJS is built on the MacOS Host set up as described above.
-
Install the MacOS host tools as described above.
-
Get the tree From a web browser: http://github.org/kinoma/kinomajs or from the command line:
git clone https://github.com/kinoma/kinomajs.git -
Set some environment variables
$ export F_HOME=/path/to/kinomajs $ export XS_HOME=$F_HOME/xs -
Build the app
$ cd $F_HOME $ ant -Dtarget.platform=iphone/device
or build for the iPhone simulator
$ cd $F_HOME
$ ant -Dtarget.platform=iphone/simulator
-
The .ipa is found in
$F_HOME/bin/iphone/device/Release/balls/balls.ipa
-
If you have multiple developer accounts, you will be warned to include the a codesign switch to the command line. To identify what certificates you have installed, you can use:
$ security find-identity -v -p codesigning
You would then add the switch -Dcodesign.id= to your build line:
$ ant -Dtarget.platform=iphone/device -Dcodesign.id=A290...
-
If you add ide to the ant build line, an Xcode project will be created and Xcode launched. You can then edit and develop within the Xcode environment.
$ ant -Dtarget.platform=iphone/simulator ide -
From Xcode, choose the Application and particular simulator or iOS device.
-
Then hit the Play button. The iPhone simulator will launch with the balls app.
-
This will also work with the mac target.
$ ant -Dtarget.platform=mac ide
