jQuery - New Wave Javascript
What you need to build your own jQuery
-
Make sure that you have Java installed (if you want to build a minified version of jQuery). 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, 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).
How to build your own jQuery
In the main directory of the distribution (the one that this file is in), type the following to make all versions of jQuery:
make
Here are each of the individual items that are buildable from the Makefile.
make init
Pull in all the external dependencies (QUnit, Sizzle) for the project.
make jquery
The standard, uncompressed, jQuery code.
Makes: ./dist/jquery.js
make min
A compressed version of jQuery (made the Closure Compiler).
Makes: ./dist/jquery.min.js
make lint
Tests a build of jQuery against JSLint, looking for potential errors or bits of confusing code.
make selector
Builds the selector library for jQuery from Sizzle.
Makes: ./src/selector.js
Finally, you can remove all the built files using the command:
make clean
Additionally, if you want to install jQuery 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
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on the jQuery
mailing list, which can be found here:
