To build the JAVA part:
ant dist
The Java portion of Commons Daemon requires Java 1.3 or later to build
To build the native parts:
1 - jsvc:
jsvc is only for Un*x systems
cd src/native/unix; configure; make
You need a gnu make.
The jsvc executable is created in the dist directory.
There is a INSTALL.txt in src/native/unix - please have a look at it.
2 - procrun:
procrun is only for windows
cd src\native\windows\apps
cd prunsrv
nmake [CPU=(X86|X64|I64)]
cd ..\prunmgr
nmake [CPU=(X86|X64|I64)]
(It is also possible to use the MS development tools).
See also the README files in src\native\windows
To build the documentation: (See http://commons.apache.org/building.html).
mvn site:generate
(Do not forget to get ../commons-build: (cd ..; svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-build/trunk/ commons-build))
