Thanks PT,
Yes I did find the build instructions and they were great...but had some
(very minor) mistakes.
I could report them to Henry if he wants.
Anyway the more challanging issue I had with building was that the
forked laszlo compiler was running
out of memory so I had to also set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx256m" in order to get
enough of memory for the forked jvm.
And I found the answer to my own question.
The core lfc classes are compiled into
LASZLO_ROOT/lps/includes/lfc directory
.swc files for swf9 & swf10
.lzl files for swf8
.js files for dhtml
I provided a fix for LPP-8379 in Jira so have a look.
What I would like is to have a build target that
- creates the laszlo servlet
- does not need tomcat
- does not invoke any documentation tasks (so I don't have to wait forever)
Is there such a thing?

The instructions for rebuilding the LFC are here:

The top-level build target is
ant make
This will recompile any changes and re-install the server in tomcat.

If you have set up that environment and want to quickly build a test
lfc for a particular back-end, you need to be in the directory
WEB-INF/lps/lfc
In there are shell scripts for invoking the correct ant procedure to
build. Note that there is a separate script for building the
non-debug, debug, and backtrace-enabled LFC, unfortunately. It is
easy to confuse yourself by building one version and testing another.
Also, you may have to use your browser's debugger to empty its cache
and force it to reload the LFC. These are the scripts:
./buildlfc
./buildlfcdebug
./buildlfcbacktrace
The all take a --runtime option. To build the swf9 debug runtime, you
would say:
./buildlfc --runtime=swf9
There is no bactracing in swf9 (yet). But the wiki article above
tells how to get the Flash debug player and use fdb to debug swf9 code.
If you are debugging generic code (not code for a particular
platform), you may find it easier to debug using the DHTML runtime
which has built-in backtracing and which you can use the browser
debugger (e.g., Firebug for Firefox) to do low-level debugging with.
We hope you will consider contributing your fixes back!

Hi,
I am trying to fix some bugs in LzTrackService.
I got the compilation process working but I don't have a clear grasp
yet of what is going in there although I browsed through the ant files.
My question is this:
The source file: LzTrack.lzs is located in
WEB-INF/lps/lfc/services/LzTrack.lzs
But where is the generated compiled file?
I tracked it down to app.swc in some obscure tmp folder but there the
tracks got colder.
I would just like to compile this lzTrack.lzs and then put it in my
own laszlo distribution for trying it out.
But which file do I copy and from where?
