# Linux Installation

This file contains installation and setup notes for Linux.

## Installation

If you installed the distribution as recommended, you should have the `source` folder stored at `/home/jconfig/samizdat/source`. You can store it at another location, but you'll need to edit `lxmake.sh`, which compiles the native library, to reflect the new location.

Also, you'll need to edit the first few lines of `lxmake.sh`, depending on the locations where you have the required software installed. See below for details.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When copying the files over to Linux, make sure that all line endings are Unix-friendly (i.e., no carriage returns, only line feeds.) Otherwise, you might receive strange compilation errors without an apparent cause. An easy way to do this is by using the `-a` or `-aa` switch to `unzip`.

NOTE: We recommend that you use Windows as your 'homebase', and only transfer files to Linux in order to compile the Linux shared library.

## Requirements

To compile the Linux shared library, you need:

- the JDK 1.1.x
  This is required for the JNI header files.
  We use the Linux port from blackdown.org, specifically, jdk1.1.8_v1
  `lxmake.sh` assumes that this is stored in /usr/local/jdk118

## Compiling

The script `lxmake.sh` is used to compile the Linux shared library. If you'll be doing this repeatedly, you might want to create a make file.

You'll need to edit the first few lines of this file depending on where the JDK and the JConfig source code is stored. See that file for details.

## Notes

IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't modify the relative locations of files or folders within the distribution; doing so may require editing the project files, batch files, etc.
