jquery.print - jquery plugin to convert objects to strings
-
Make sure that you have Java installed (if you want to build a minified version of jquery.print). If not, go to this page and download "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0"
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp -
You now have two options for building jquery.print, if you have access to common UNIX commands (like
make
,mkdir
,rm
,cat
, andecho
) then simply typemake
to build all the components. -
The other option is if you have Ant installed (or are on Windows and don't have access to make). You can download Ant from here: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi If you do have Ant, everytime (in this README) that I say 'make', do 'ant' instead - it works identically (for all intents and purposes).
In the main directory of the distribution (the one that this file is in), type the following to make all versions of jquery.print:
make
Here are each of the individual items that are buildable from the Makefile.
make jquery.print
The standard, uncompressed, jquery.print code.
Makes: ./dist/jquery.print.js
make min
A compressed version of jquery.print (made the Closure Compiler).
Makes: ./dist/jquery.print.min.js
Finally, you can remove all the built files using the command:
make clean
Additionally, if you want to install jquery.print to a location that is not this directory, you can specify the PREFIX directory, for example:
make PREFIX=/home/john/test/
OR
make PREFIX=~/www/ docs
(Docs/structure shamelessly copied from jQuery);
