INSTALLING JabRef ON BLFS AUTHOR: Sami S. Tarazi DATE: 2015-09-19 LICENSE: GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.2 SYNOPSIS: Install JabRef bibliography reference manager on BLFS. DESCRIPTION: JabRef is a reliable open source reference manager that can generate BibTeX bibliography file format that can be used in a LaTeX document. This hint describes the installation of JabRef from source on modern BLFS system. ATTACHMENTS: * http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/MAINTAINER/jabref * http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/MAINTAINER/jabref.desktop PREREQUISITES: Modern BLFS system with the following: X Window System Environment (Xorg). Java-1.8.0.51 or OpenJDK-1.8.0.51. apache-ant-1.9.5. GNOME-3.14 desktop environment (should work also on kde). HINT: JabRef is written in the Java programming language. The download section of the its homepage "http://jabref.sourceforge.net/"; contains a built jar file and a source package. The hint is concerned with building JabRef from its source. Start by downloading the source of the latest stable version. At the time of this hint, the most stable source is "JabRef-2.10-src.tar.bz2": http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabref/files/jabref/2.10/ Untar the source: tar xjvf JabRef-2.10-src.tar.bz2 Change into the JabRef-2.10 directory: cd JabRef-2.10 Compile: ant When ant finishes execution, the directory "build" is created. The directory "build/lib" contains the JabRef-2.10.jar file. The build can be tested by executing from a terminal in an X Window environment: java -jar build/lib/JabRef-2.10.jar The JabRef window should start. If every thing seems working, then proceed to install. If the JabRef window did not materialize properly, then some thing went wrong and above procedure should be checked and repeated. JabRef is installed in the "/opt/jabref-2.10". As root: install -v -m755 -d /opt/jabref-2.10/{classes/{com,gnu,net,org,spl},help,images/crystal_16,lib,resource,tmp} install -v -m644 build/lib/*.jar /opt/jabref-2.10/lib install -v -m644 build/images/* /opt/jabref-2.10/images install -v -m644 build/images/crystal_16/* /opt/jabref-2.10/images/crystal_16 install -v -m644 build/help/* /opt/jabref-2.10/help mv -v build/classes/com/* /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/com chown -R root:root /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/com/* mv -v build/classes/gnu/* /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/gnu chown -R root:root /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/gnu/* mv -v build/classes/net/* /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/net chown -R root:root /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/net/* mv -v build/classes/org/* /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/org chown -R root:root /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/org/* mv -v build/classes/spl/* /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/spl chown -R root:root /opt/jabref-2.10/classes/spl/* mv -v build/resource/* /opt/jabref-2.10/resource chown -R root:root /opt/jabref-2.10/resource/* mv -v build/tmp/* /opt/jabref-2.10/tmp chown -R root:root /opt/jabref-2.10/tmp/* ln -v -s jabref-2.10 /opt/jabref Still as root install the provided jabref script and jabref.desktop desktop file, assuming that both files were downloaded to the working directory: install -m 755 jabref /usr/bin install -m 644 jabref.desktop /usr/share/applications The above install command installs the "jabref" script in the "/usr/bin". If a different location like "/usr/local/bin" is preferred, then the install command be adjusted to reflect the desired location. Also it is assumed that the directory "/usr/share/applications" exists on the BLFS system. If it does not like early in the construction of a BLFS system, the it can be create as root by: mkdir -pv /usr/share/applications This complete the installation. The JabRef icon should be accessible in desktop environment like gnome. One point worth mentioning. I the jabref.desktop the icon /opt/jabref/images/JabRef-icon.svg was used. The build provides also JabRef-icon-32.png and JabRef-icon-48.png, if the system does not support svg format, the file jabref.desktop can be edited to use any of the two png icons. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: * Appreciation is extended to the whole LFS and BLFS community. CHANGELOG: [2003-08-15] * Initial hint.
