Triquetrum/Building From Sources

There are at least two ways to get started with Triquetrum:

  1. Building from sources, which is for people who will collaborate on Triquetrum by recompiling and submitting changes.
  2. Downloads, which is for people who want to use Triquetrum without recompiling.

This page is discusses how to build from sources.

Check Out the Repo

Use Eclipse to check out the repo.

  1. Install Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers. Other versions may work. These instructions were tested using Mars June 2015 under Mac OS X.
  2. Start Eclipse. Create a new workspace. You may need to close the Welcome tab by clicking on the X.
  3. Window -> Show View -> Other -> Git -> Git Repositories
  4. Click on "Clone a Git repository"
  5. Click on "Clone URI", then Next
  6. Enter the URI https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/
  7. In the Branch Selection window, keep the default of the Master branch and click Next.
  8. In the Local Destination window, select Finish.

Importing Projects

In the Git Repositories tab, expand the triquetrum tab, right click on Working Directory and select Import Projects.

1. Keep "Import existing Eclipse projects" selected, click Next.

2. In the "Import Projects" step deselect the examples:

  • org.eclipse.triquetrum.workflow.actor.plot
  • org.eclipse.triquetrum.workflow.actor.plot.feature
  • org.eclipse.triquetrum.workflow.actor.plot.palette

Currently these are for providing a plot actor.

3. Then click Finish.

Building

The build will show lots of errors. Don't panic.

1. Expand org.eclipse.triquetrum.target.platform and click on "org.eclipse.triquetrum.target.platform"
