================================================================================
THE SCALA REPOSITRY
Structure and build system
================================================================================
Part I. The repository layout
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follows the file layout of the Scala repository. Files marked with a † are not
part of the Subversion repository but are either automatically generated by the
build script or user-created if needed.
scala/
build/ † Temporary staging area for build products.
build.excludes † An optional build configuration file.
build.properties † An optional build configuration file.
build.xml The main Ant build script.
dist/ † The destination folder of Scala distributions.
docs/ Documentation of Scala. More in its own module.
development/ Developer documentation.
examples/ Scala example files.
man/ UNIX manual files.
lib/ Pre-compiled libraries for the build.
fjbg.jar The Java byte-code generation library.
jaco.jar The JaCo Java compiler.
msil.jar The CLR byte-code generation library.
scala-compiler.jar The last stable version of the Scala compiler.
scala-library.jar The last stable version of the Scala library.
scala.dll The Scala library for Windows.
README The file you are currently reading.
sandbox/ † A folder to test code etc.
src/ All the source files of Scala.
compiler/ The sources of the Scala compiler.
exec/ The sources of the executable wrapper-scripts.
library/ The sources of the Scala library.
test/ The Scala test suite.
Any change to this structure requires a modification of the 'build.xml' file.
Part II. Building Scala
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Scala build system is based on Apache Ant. Most required pre-compiled libraries are part of the repository (in 'lib/'). The following however is assumed to be installed on the build machine:
- A Java SDK 1.4 or above (1.5 not supported).
- Apache Ant version 1.6.2 or above.
