Dear Devs, I have been working on developing a procedure to build DHIS2, the documentation and an installer from sources. I have a procedure that works for me, and would now like to offer this up for discussion, and potential inclusion in the trunk. And to see what else there needs to be done. I have pretty much achieved what I needed, but this may not fit everyone's needs.
First of all, there are three main projects that are needed. I created a folder /workspace. and then (if you do not already have all of this) bzr branch lp:dhis2 bzr branch lp:~dhis2-documenters/dhis2/dhis2-docbook-docs bzr branch lp:~jason-p-pickering/+junk/dhis2-live-installer You can get a copy of BitRock install builder from here http://installbuilder.bitrock.com/download-step-2.html. Install it somewhere on your system. I then created a build.sh file with the following content. Modify the three environment variables to suit your needs. #/bin/sh export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_10/ export PATH=$PATH:/home/wheel/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin/ export BITROCK_HOME=/home/wheel/installbuilder-6.2.7/ echo "Building DHIS 2 Core..." cd dhis2/dhis-2 mvn clean install -Dtest=skip -DfailIfNoTests=false echo "Building DHIS 2 Web..." cd dhis-web mvn clean install -Dtest=skip -DfailIfNoTests=false echo "Packing DHIS 2 Web Portal..." cd dhis-web-portal mvn clean install -Dtest=skip -DfailIfNoTests=false echo "Builidng DHIS2 Live Package" cd ../../../dhis-live/ mvn clean package -Dtest=skip -DfailIfNoTests=false echo "Building documentation" cd ../../dhis2-docbook-docs/ mvn package echo "Copying DHIS2 resources to installer directories" cd ../ rm -rf dhis2-live-installer/webapps/dhis cp -r dhis2/dhis-2/dhis-web/dhis-web-portal/target/dhis/ dhis2-live-installer/webapps/ echo "Copying DHIS2 Live supoprt files to installer directories" cp dhis2/dhis-live/target/dhis2-live.exe dhis2-live-installer/dhis2-live.exe cp dhis2/dhis-live/target/dhis2-live-jar-with-dependencies.jar dhis2-live-installer/dhis2-live.jar echo "Copying Documentation to installaer directories" cp dhis2-docbook-docs/target/site/en/pdf/dhis2_user_manual_en.pdf dhis2-live-installer/docs/ echo "Building installer" cd dhis2-live-installer mvn exec:exec Place this build.sh script in the /workspace directory, the same as the three source branches. My directory looks something like this.. /workspace |build.sh |_dhis2 |_dhis2-docbook-docs |_dhis2-live-installer Execute this build script. You will now enter into a rather lengthy process depending on the speed of your machine. At the end. you will have a Windows installer based on the latest source code and documentation. These will be output to the BITROCK_HOME/output directory. Ideally, we can create an uber-pom to take care of this packaging, but this will have to wait a bit.
