[jQuery](http://jquery.com/) - 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](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`, and `echo`) then simply type `make` 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](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 YUI Minifier).
|
|
Makes: ./dist/jquery.min.js
|
|
|
|
`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:
