Jacques Nadeau created CALCITE-4840:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Readme from source release clearly state how to build
Key: CALCITE-4840
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4840
Project: Calcite
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: avatica
Reporter: Jacques Nadeau
Right now, trying to figure out how you should build from the source release is
too difficult (unless I missed something). To find the rather meagre
instructions, you have to:
# Open the README and see it says use README.md
# Open README.md and follow the link to the avatica home
# Click develop
# Click avatica development guide link
# Find and click "build from a source distribution"
Good luck to someone to find that path :)
When you get there, it states java 8 or later but trying to build with Java 17
fails. For reference, jvm I was using:
{{% java --version}}
{{openjdk 17 2021-09-14 LTS}}
{{OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-17.0.0.35.2 (build 17+35-LTS)}}
{{OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-17.0.0.35.2 (build 17+35-LTS, mixed mode,
sharing)}}
Ideally the readme (or an install.md or a single click) should include:
* Prerequisites to build (gradle 6.8.1 and Java 8?)
* How to check signature
* How to build & test
