Build instructions

In order to build JOCL, create a local working directory, e.g. C:\JOCLRoot, and clone the required repositories into this directory:

git clone https://github.com/gpu/JOCL.git
git clone https://github.com/gpu/JOCLCommon.git

Building the native libraries

The native libraries of JOCL can be built with CMake and any compatible target compiler (e.g. Visual Studio or GCC):

• Start cmake-gui,
• Set the directory containing the sources of the JOCL project, e.g. C:\JOCLRoot\JOCL
• Set the directory for the build files: e.g. C:\JOCLRoot\JOCL.build
• Press "Configure" (and select the appropriate compiler)
• Press "Generate"

Then, C:\JOCLRoot\JOCL.build will contain the build files, e.g. the GCC makefiles or the Visual Studio project files. Compiling the with these makefiles will place the binaries into a nativeLibraries subdirectory of the project, e.g. into C:\JOCLRoot\JOCL\nativeLibraries.

Building the Java libraries

The actual Java libraries can be built with Apache Maven. After the native libraries have been built as described above, change into the JOCL directory and execute

mvn clean install

This will compile the Java libraries, run the unit tests, assemble the classes (together with the native library), sources and JavaDocs into JAR files, and finally place all libraries into the
C:\JOCLRoot\JOCL\target directory.
