How to build ANET from Source

This document assumes you have a complete development environment set up and working. You should always run all tests before generating a build!

Building an RPM for ANET should be done on a Red Hat 9 system, with:

./gradlew distRpm

The resulting rpm can be found in build/distributions/anet-<version>-0.x86_64.rpm.

Other, informal, distribution formats may be generated with the following Gradle tasks:

./gradlew -PtestEnv check    # Runs checkstyle test and unit tests
./gradlew jpackageImage      # Builds the client, server, and all dependencies including a jre into a single directory image
./gradlew distZip            # Builds the client, server, and all dependencies into a single .zip file
./gradlew distRpm            # Builds the client, server, and all dependencies including a jre into an .rpm file; note
                             # that this builds it on your own system, so it may not be fully Red Hat compatible

This will a.o. create zip or rpm distribution files in build/distributions which contain all the necessary files to install ANET.
