I believe 2.1 has my staff client build system changes in place. Thus
a quick "make linux-client" will build a client and make a tar.bz out
of it for copying to elsewhere.
Make updates-clients will do that, build updates for automatic
updates, and install things in places that the manual update
page(/updates/manualupdate.html via a web browser) can find them at.

Hi Buzzy
This is what I usually do instead of compiling the client again on
my Ubuntu desktop. Note that we run Ubuntu servers and have not had
any issues using this method of testing out staff clients. I am
pretty sure that there shouldn't be cross distro issues either.
On the Evergreen server I tar up the
"Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/build" directory found in the Evergreen
source directory where you compiled and installed the system.
Then on the desktop I untar it into say build_2_1_1, so I can have
multiple versions of the build directory for multiple test server
versions.
Next I start up the client by running the appropriate xulrunner
version required, currently we use xulrunner-1.9.2, and passing the
application initialization file path (application.ini).
Example:
/usr/bin/xulrunner-1.9.2
/home/evergreen/client/build_2_1_1/application.ini &
Other options you can pass to xulrunner:
To enable a console, start xulrunner with the -console argument.
Note that -console goes after the application.ini argument: e.g.
xulrunner /path/to/application.ini -console
To be able to pick from multiple profiles you can pass a -P which
also allows you to create a new profile. e.g. xulrunner
/path/to/application.ini -P
To allow multiple instance to run at the same time you can use
-no-remote. e.g. xulrunner /path/to/application.ini -no-remote
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers

BTW, if it helps, the client would be on a machine running Linux Mint
12, or some other Debian-based distro.

Hi,
I'd like to build a Linux client on a client workstation. Our system
currently runs 2.1.0. Are there instructions for building a staff
client on client machine for 2.1.0? Or does someone have an
already-packaged version of it? I saw these instructions:
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-user:installing_and_running_the_staff_client#installing_on_linux
But I couldn't seem to get them to work. I've tried using a packaged
version of 2.1.0a, but it didn't work with our server.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers!
