Build instructions

Java compatibility note

It is recommended to use JDK 1.8 for building Millfork.
If you have multiple Java versions installed, enter
set JAVA_HOME=PATH_TO_JAVA\bin (Windows)
export JAVA_HOME=PATH_TO_JAVA/bin (Mac/Linux)
(where PATH_TO_JAVA is a path to one of your JDK installations) into the command line before running sbt to choose a JDK.

Building without tests

Setting up the test suite for Millfork is tricky, so if you don't need the tests, you can remove them.

Prerequisites

  • JDK 1.8

  • sbt

Steps

  • run sbt -DskipTests compile
    to compile the project

  • run sbt -DskipTests assembly
    to build the executable jar file, it should appear in target/scala-2.12

Building with tests

Test suite is useful if you plan on modifying the compiler. Some test dependencies need manual installation.

Prerequisites

  • JDK 1.8 or later

    • Millfork up to version 0.3.22 used to require exactly JDK 1.8 with Nashorn, as the tests didn't work on newer versions

  • sbt

  • Maven

Steps

  • download the dependencies that are not available in a central repository:

      https://github.com/sethm/symon/tree/71905fdb1998ee4f142260879504bc46cf27648f
  https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/halfnes/tree/061
  https://github.com/trekawek/coffee-gb/tree/coffee-gb-1.0.0
  https://github.com/sorenroug/osnine-java/tree/b77349a6c314e1362e69b7158c385ac6f89b7ab8

  • for each of them, run maven package and maven install

  • navigate to the project directory

  • run sbt compile to compile the project

  • run sbt assembly to build the executable jar file, it should appear in target/scala-2.12

Building a native executable

This is experimental.

Prerequisites

  • an executable jar with Millfork (see above)

  • GraalVM 19 or later

  • native-image

  • other tools required by native-image, appropriate for your operating system and GraalVM version (for example, Windows SDK 7.1 on Windows)

  • a lot of RAM

Steps

  • navigate to the directory containing the jar, most likely target/scala-2.12

  • run native-image -jar millfork.jar to build a native executable for your operating system
