Douglas Neiner 4e337f504e Updated README file with updated information for the Rake addtions
Also changed the default Rake task to "all" instead of "jquery"
to parallel the Makefile.

build Added in integrated JSLint checking against the jQuery source. Just run 'make lint' to see the result. 2010-03-01 21:51:44 -05:00
speed Expose jQuery.uuid (use with caution) and make sure the expando property is used in the events module. 2010-06-19 22:29:48 -07:00
src Expose jQuery.uuid (use with caution) and make sure the expando property is used in the events module. 2010-06-19 22:29:48 -07:00
test Mobile WebKit browsers don't support accessing the scroll position of the document/window. 2010-06-19 22:29:48 -07:00
.gitattributes Force endlines to be just LF (any CRLF is auto-converted to LF by Git). 2009-11-27 11:23:19 -05:00
.gitignore Adding .DS_Store to Git ignore. 2009-12-09 23:49:13 -08:00
build.xml Fixed typo in logic, also disabled function setters in this case to allow the functions to passthrough and bind. 2010-01-12 21:54:06 -05:00
GPL-LICENSE.txt Updated the licensing information. 2006-08-21 19:36:44 +00:00
Makefile Remove the need for the return in sizzle-jquery and just remove the attempt to expose Sizzle completely. jQuery is 100% passing JSLint ('make lint') now. 2010-03-01 21:56:08 -05:00
MIT-LICENSE.txt Updating the date in MIT-LICENSE.txt. Thanks @mathias for the heads-up. 2010-01-21 09:07:19 -05:00

README.md Updated README file with updated information for the Rake addtions 2010-06-19 22:29:49 -07:00

jQuery - New Wave Javascript

What you need to build your own jQuery

Build Options

You now have three options for building jQuery:

  • make: If you have access to common UNIX commands (like make, mkdir, rm, cat, and echo) then simply type make to build all the components.

  • rake: If you have Ruby Rake installed, you can simply type rake to build all the components. This method works on both Windows and UNIX/Linux systems.

  • ant: 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.

How to build your own jQuery

Note: If you are using either rake or ant, substitute your chosen method in place of make in the examples below. They work identically for all intents and purposes. Quick reference is also available for rake by typing rake -T in the jquery directory.

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

Building to a different directory

If you want to install jQuery to a location that is not this directory, you can...

Make only: Specify the PREFIX directory, for example:

make PREFIX=/home/john/test/ [command]

With this example, the output files would be contained in /home/john/test/dist/

Rake only: Define the DIST_DIR directory, for example:

rake DIST_DIR=/home/john/test/ [command]

With this example, the output files would be contained in /home/john/test/

In both examples, [command] is optional.

Ant only: You cannot currently build to another directory when using Ant.
