Linux Tools Project/Eclipse Build
{{#eclipseproject:technology.linux-distros}}
Eclipse-build aims to ease the building of the Eclipse SDK for Linux distributions. Prerequisites for building with eclipse-build
- ANT version 1.7.1 or newer
HOW-TO build Eclipse SDK with eclipse-build
- Download the latest eclipse-build*.tar.gz
- Extract the downloaded eclipse-build*.tar.gz
- Download Eclipse SDK sources in the eclipse-build* directory. NOTE: Eclipse-build provides source tarball created from the same tag as the official releases but with additional sources needed for the build.
- Run ./build.sh
If the build finishes without error there will be a build/eclipse-$YOUR_BUILD_ID-fetched-src/installation directory containing a ready to use Eclipse SDK.
Eclipse-build is verified to work on x86, x86_64 and ppc architectures. Additionally a ppc64 build is provided in Fedora with additional patches which are not migrated to eclipse-build yet.
