This document offers some information about maintaining the base Autohit system. Currently, it is a free-form rant, but we always go back and clean it later.
This development environment differs from the packaged user environment. There is a batch tool that will take the development environment and create an installable user environment. Some user developed objects might be useful in the base system and can be integrated.
| ./ | Root directory. This will be (should be) set at the %AUTOHIT_ROOT% environment variable in the setenv.bat batch file. |
| ./setenv.bat | Sets the environment. When you first
launch a Shell (or DOS box), execute this batch file to set the environment. You
need to run it each and every shell you open! This does not set global environment
variables! Also, if you've just installed, you need to edit this file and set AUTOHIT_ROOT to directory path where to where it is installed. |
| ./make.bat | Run a make on EVERYTHING! If you add new component, package, or other source code, make sure this batch either compiles it or calls its makefile. |
| ./makeDocs.bat | Runs javadoc on the java packages. |
| ./package.bat | Packages the system for general users. It will leave a .zip file in the root directory; distribute this, as it has everything they will need. If you add new java packages or major components, you may need to edit this batch so that they are properly packaged. |
| ./index.html | This document. |
| ./pack-setenv.bat | This will become the setenv.bat in the packaged system. Since everything is JAR'ed in the packaged system, the classpath needs to be set differently than in the this environment. If you add a major new component or a 3rd partly library, you may need to edit this. |
| ./*.java | A few application classes. |
| ./autohit/* | Autohit runtime system. |
| ./creator/* | Autohit compilers and other tools used for making Sims, Scenarios, and the like. |
| ./lib/* | 3rd party libraries. |
| ./master/* | Autohit remote control system. |
| ./dev-test/* | Classes and files used to test while developing. This is not packaged for general users. |
| ./test/* | Tests and test samples for general users. This is packaged for general users. |
| ./docs/* | Documentation tree. ALL of this directory is packaged. |
| ./redux/* | Data reduction tools used for analyzing test data. |
| ./package/* | Working directory for packaging the system. You can delete this at any time. |
The following is the procedure for making and packaging the system.
