Hi,
What I ment was that how could I build just the webapplication so it
would not be mixed with the source.
I mean the contents of what goes currently with the name
openlaszlo-4.7.x-servlet.war.
I have a build system that assumes laszlo to be somewhere without the
source (and possibly some intermediary build artefacts) mixed in.
And best would be if I could get this as folder structure not as war file.
I think that now when I call ant build Everything is built in the middle
of the source code.

If I use the targets `make` or `build`, the doc does not get built.
What target are you using that builds the doc?

if you modify the build.properties, you can skip generation of the

`ant build` will build the server jar and the lfc. You don't need
to use this path if you are just debugging the lfc, as noted in my
previous message. Build and install the server jar, then use the
buildlfc scripts to rebuild the lfc and test by forcing your browser
to reload the app with the new lfc (e.g., clearing the browser cache
or setting the browser to always reload from the server).
If you cannot update the build instructions on the wiki directly,
yes please report them. We try to keep them up to date for
contributors like you!

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:
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/SubversionBuildInstructions
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?
