One option is to simply install the precompiled bundle wmsx-xxx-distribution.zip. Simply copy the contents of the subdirectories of the bundle to the appropriate prefix directory (e.g. /usr/local). Other option is to compile the wmsx-aggregator-xxx-src.zip source bundle as explained below.

Build instructions (from wmsx-2.0.2 or newer)

• Install JDK 1.6 or newer
  • Download package from http://www.java.com/
  • Install package
  • Set the environmental variable JAVA_HOME to your JDK installation
  • Add $JAVA_HOME/bin to your PATH environmantal variable
• Install Maven 2.1.0 or newer
  • Download package from http://maven.apache.org/
  • Install package
  • Add your_maven_installation_directory/bin to your PATH environmental variable
• Compile from wmsx-aggregator-xxx-src.zip source bundle
  • Download source bundle from http://wmsx.max.berger.name/wmsx/download
  • Unpack source bundle and go inside:

                > unzip  wmsx-aggregator-xxx-src.zip
                > cd  wmsx-aggregator-xxx
                

  • Remove old Maven archives:

                > rm  -rf  ~/.m2
                # If your home is on AFS disk space, you may need to do the following, if compilation fails:
                # - create and edit ~/.m2/settings.xml:
                #   <settings>
                #       <localRepository>some_local_directory</localRepository>
                #   </settings>
                

  • Build from source:

                > mvn
                

  • Install the resulting package:

                > cd  ..
                > cp  wmsx-aggregator-xxx/wmsx/target/site/download/wmsx-xxx-distribution.zip  .
                > unzip  wmsx-xxx-distribution.zip
                > cp  -r  wmsx-xxx/*  $PREFIX/
                # Here the directory PREFIX is some target directory, e.g. /usr/local or /usr etc.
                

  • Make sure that the according installation target directory $PREFIX/bin is listed in PATH.
