Introduction

Careful This has only been tested on FreeBSD 6.1 with a Current ports tree as of 2006/08/22!

Preparation

Java on FreeBSD can be a tall order right now. Check out their docs for more info. This document assumes you don't want to run X on your server. That won't matter because the java port is going to install all of the libraries.

Dependencies

• java/jdk15: For well...dude you just need Java.
• devel/apache-ant: For building.
• java/bouncycastle: For SSL.

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15
make fetch-recursive
portinstall -m WITHOUT_WEB=yes java/jdk15
portinstall devel/apache-ant java/bouncycastle converters/unix2dos

Handy Hint Without the make fetch-recursive your build of java/jdk15 will halt at various points while you hunt down the needed distfiles.

Building

svn co https://svn.safehaus.org/repos/penrose/trunk
cd trunk
dos2unix build.xml
dos2unix server/build.xml
ant -Dprefix="/usr/local" dist-unix

Questions

• Is it really necessary to do dos2unix build.xml?
• What's the best way to use ant to get files where they need to go?

Installing

ant -Dpenrose.home="/usr/local/penrose" install

Future Work

• Figure out how to modify the install process to produce the following directory structure:
  • /usr/local/lib/penrose
  • /usr/local/etc/penrose
    • /usr/local/etc/rc.d/penrose.sh
  • /usr/local/bin
  • /var/log/penrose
