Installing from source
This guide explains how Elibrarium can be built from source and installed into Eclipse 3.7 or newer.
- The git command line client
- Java compiler
- Maven
On Linux and OS X hosts set up for development all of these features should be present.
This project depends on the EPUB support in Mylyn Docs. This code is available in the project's official Git repository. In this case we'll be using the GitHub clone of the repository. Open a shell in the location where you want to put the source code and prepare to build Mylyn Docs:
git clone git://github.com/eclipse/mylyn.docs.git
cd org.eclipse.mylyn.docs
mvn install
Now Elibrārium must be built.
git clone git://github.com/turesheim/elibrarium.git
cd elibrarium
mvn package
Assuming everything went OK there will now be an Eclipse p2 repository which one can install from. This will include the EPUB parts from the Mylyn Docs project. If your git repository is at ~/git/elibrarium you should find it in no.resheim.elibrarium-site/target/site. Add this folder as an install location when using the Eclipse install wizard. The wizard is found in the main menu: Help > Install New Software…
If you want to update with the latest repository version you can execute:
git pull
As soon as the repository has been updated and built you can select Help > Check for Updates and the new build should be discovered and be installable.
