To build GALE from source you will need the following software:
Building GALE
GALE requires Java and Maven to compile from source. They can be obtained using the
links on the right. The steps to compile GALE are:
- Copy the source from the CD to your computer.
- Go to the 'master' directory inside the source directory on your computer using a
command prompt.
- Execute the command 'mvn package'. If Maven or Java can't be found, you may have to
configure them manually by setting environment variables. See the Java and/or Maven
documentation.
- You can find the compiled .war file in the 'gale/target' directory of the source.
After the .war is extracted by Tomcat the main GALE configuration file is
tomcat/webapps/gale/WEB-INF/galeconfig.xml. There is a galeconfig-hsqldb.xml file that
configures GALE to use HSQLDB instead of the default MySQL.
More information can be found on the GALE download page and the GALE online documentation.
