HOW TO GET STARTED BUILDING IT

Use the latest Eclipse. Version 3.7.2 works.

Follow the Android Developer site instructions to install the software. Compile and build Hello World first!

Windows > Android SDK Manager
You should have Android 2.1 (API 7) installed.

Windows > AVD Manager
An Android 3.0 works fine.

• Fetch the git repository git://github.com/strickyak/TerseTalk-Alpha.git
• Start eclipse
• File > Import...
• Git > Projects From Git
• ( Add all 3 projects from your Git dir )
• In the package explorer, expand all 3 packages, expand the 'src' directories, the 'terse.*' packages.
• Double-click terse-vm > src > terse.vm > AllTests.java
• Click somewhere in that file, and hit [F11].
• If it asks, tell it to use Exclipse Unit Tests, not Android. (Enable the "project configuration" option, so it'll remember that.)
• It should run and pass all tests.
• Double-click terse-a1 > src > terse.a1 > TerseActivity.java. [Ctrl-F11].
• Now pick "terse-a1" in the Project Browser. It has an error mark.
• For some reason the Java Build Path does not survive export & import, so you have to fix the following:
• Menu Project > Properties > Java Build Path >
  • Under "Source" there should be "terse-a1/gen" & "terse-a1/src"
  • Under "Projects" there should be "terse-vm"
  • Under "Libraries" there should be "Android 2.1" & "com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.LIBRARIES"
  • Under "Order and Export" there should be all of the above. Click "Select All".
  • Also under "Order and Export", "terse-vm" should not be last; it should be Third, after "terse-a1/src" and "terse-a1/gen". Move it up, if you need to.
  • Click [OK] to save.
• Do Ctrl-F11 in TerseActivity.java again.
• If it asks, tell it to run as "Android Application".

You should be able to see your plugged-in phone here:

~/android-sdks/platform-tools/adb devices

It needs to have "USB Debugging" enabled under developer options.

EDITING PRELUDE.TXT AND RECOMPILING

Right now, we're editing ".../terse-vm/prelude.txt" with "vi" to add classes and test stuff.

We suggest you cd to ".../terse-vm/src/terse/vm" to work.

From there, edit "../../../prelude.txt" to edit the prelude. Always edit the prelude.txt which is in the "terse-vm" project; the other prelude.txt files are automated copies of it.

After an edit of either the prelude or a .java file, run "make" (from that same directory).

Then in eclipse, in the "Java" perspective, in the "Package Explorer", open "terse-a1" and click "res" to hilight it. Hit F5 (or use middle-click, "Refresh" on it).

Then in terse-a1 > src > terse.a1, double-click TerseActivity.java. Hit Ctrl-F11 to run the app on your phone. (First, in a terminal shell, you can check that your phone is visible, by running "~/android-sdks/platform-tools/adb device".)

SETTING UP GIT

Install the git commands. They may be part of some GUI package, I don't care.

Make a new directory to hold the projects, "cd" to the directory, and run "git init".

Then run "git pull https://github.com/strickyak/TerseTalk-Alpha.git".

Then go into Eclipse, and use "File > Import".

If you see a "Git" option, use that. Otherwise use "General > Existing Projects into Workspace". You should be able to browse to your git dir you just made, then select all 3 "terse*" projects in it.

Then build as described above.
