Recipe to build the Intalio Tempo project (Windows environment)

For those who want or need to build the Intalio Tempo project from its source, I am pretty sure you ended up reading the install instruction provided in the GIT repository from the Tempo project (if not, here's the link to it : https://github.com/intalio/tempo/blob/master/INSTALL.txt).

When I followed these instructions myself (FYI, I was trying to build the project in a Windows XP environment), I faced lots of problem (gem version problems, missing Ruby environment variables and so on) and at some point, I had the feeling that the instructions of the INSTALL.txt file were mainly UNIX/Linux oriented.

It took me a few days to figure out how to build the project in my Windows XP and here's the steps to go through : 

1° Prerequisites

First and foremost, make sure you've installed JDK 5 and set the JAVA_HOME variable.

2° Retrieving the Tempo project's source

The Tempo project source are located in a GIT repository. Personally, I've installed the Windows installer for te 1.7.4 preview version (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe&can=2&q=).

- Create a directory in C:/ and name it "Tempo-src"

- Open a GIT bash console and go into the "C:/Tempo-src" directory

- Execute the following command :

git clone git://github.com/intalio/tempo.git

 

3° Installing Ruby for Windows

Download and install Ruby 1.8.7 for Windows (available at : http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/).

 

4° Installing development kit

- Download and install the development kit for Ruby. This will allow your gems, among other things, to execute C and C++ libraries. This kit is available at http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

Actually, the executable that you've just downloaded is a 7-zip archive. Run it, specify the extraction path to C:\devKit

(If you specify another path, make sure it does not contain any blank !!! That will prevent you from getting some errors that are far from being well documented)

- Open a CMD shell, go into the C:\devKit directory and execute the following commands :

          - ruby dk.rb init

     - ruby dk.rb install

5° Installing buildr gem

- Open a CMD shell and execute the command : gem install buildr -v 1.3.5 --platform=mswin32

This command will install the version 1.3.5 of buildr for Windows platform. During the installation process, you may get some error concerning the documentation file installation. Hopefully, these files are not necessary for the following steps.

6° Installing hpricot gem

In order to build the Tempo project, you'll also need the hpricot gem. In a CMD shell, simply execute the command gem install hpricot --platform=mswin32

7° Patching buildr

It seems that there are some version compatibility issues between the different tools. These issues are resolved by applying a patch on configuration file. For more information, you can refer to this link : https://fedorahosted.org/candlepin/wiki/PatchingBuildr

The link above described an automated procedure to apply the patch but it only works for UNIX/Linux platform. Working on Windows, I've simply edited the concerned configuration file manually. To make things simpler, just go into the C:\Ruby187\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\buildr-1.3.3\lib\buildr\java directory. Open the file named version_requirement.rb and replace its content by the following lines :

8° Building the Tempo project

And finally, in a CMD shell, execute the ruby command on the tempo-builder.rb file which is located in the C:\Tempo-src\tempo\rsc\scripts> directory :

At this point, if you got a message similar to "looking for TOOL_XXX (Axis2, Tomcat,and so on) and all I got was 404!", it is likely that the source of the Tempo project you've checked out are configured to work with previous version of the concerned tool.

So, you'll need to manually edit following file : C:\Tempo-src\tempo\rsc\scripts\lib\build_support.rb

To resolve this kind of issue, you could either change the version of change the path to the indicated resource. But my opinion is that it is safer to change the path and keep the same version. That way, you won't create new version incompatibilities.

9° External links

This recipe worked for me but if you still encounter errors following it, take a look at the Tempo development

group page (http://groups.google.com/group/tempo-dev) where you will definitely find some helpful information. Here's another helpful link that will provide you plenty of information about Intalio Tempo : http://intaliotempo.wordpress.com/.
