GlareUI Client Source

The source code for the client is not available from Store as described in the installation guide but rather from a separate Mercurial repository.

Requirements

There are a couple of requirements so that you can build the client from source:

• Mercurial -- To check out the repository
• Flex 3 SDK -- To build the client
• GNU Make -- To run the makefile

Make and Mercurial can usually be installed via your system's package manager if you are running a Linux distribution.

On Gentoo:

emerge mercurial -av

On Ubuntu or Debian:

sudo apt-get install mercurial make

If you are running a different operating system, you will need to follow the instructions on the website of the aforementioned tools.

Getting the source

To get a copy of the glare repository:

hg clone https://glare.crimson.ch/hg glare

You will want to run hg pull -u once in a while to keep your repository up to date.

Building

Then change directory into GlareUI and run make:

make swf

(the swf is actually optional because it is the default goal).

You will end up with a GlareUI.swf file which you can use just like the pre-compiled one in the installation guide.
