[jQuery](http://jquery.com/) - New Wave Javascript
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
What you need to build your own jQuery
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to build jQuery, you need to have GNU make 3.8 or later, Node.js 0.2 or later, and git 1.7 or later.
|
|
(Earlier versions might work OK, but are not tested.)
|
|
|
|
Windows users have two options:
|
|
|
|
1. Install [msysgit](https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) (Full installer for official Git),
|
|
[GNU make for Windows](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm), and a
|
|
[binary version of Node.js](http://node-js.prcn.co.cc/). Make sure all three packages are installed to the same
|
|
location (by default, this is C:\Program Files\Git).
|
|
2. Install [Cygwin](http://cygwin.com/) (make sure you install the git, make, and which packages), then either follow
|
|
the [Node.js build instructions](https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-%28Windows%29) or install
|
|
the [binary version of Node.js](http://node-js.prcn.co.cc/).
|
|
|
|
Mac OS users should install Xcode (comes on your Mac OS install DVD, or downloadable from
|
|
[Apple's Xcode site](http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html)) and
|
|
[http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/](Homebrew). Once Homebrew is installed, run `brew install git` to install git,
|
|
and `brew install node` to install Node.js.
|
|
|
|
Linux/BSD users should use their appropriate package managers to install make, git, and node, or build from source
|
|
if you swing that way. Easy-peasy.

How to build your own jQuery
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
First, clone a copy of the main jQuery git repo by running `git clone git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git`.
|
|
|
|
Then, to get a complete, minified, jslinted version of jQuery, simply `cd` to the `jquery` directory and type
|
|
`make`. If you don't have Node installed and/or want to make a basic, uncompressed, unlinted version of jQuery, use
|
|
`make jquery` instead of `make`.
|
|
|
|
The built version of jQuery will be put in the `dist/` subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
To remove all built files, run `make clean`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building to a different directory
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to build jQuery to a directory that is different from the default location, you can specify the PREFIX
|
|
directory: `make PREFIX=/home/jquery/test/ [command]`
|
|
|
|
With this example, the output files would end up in `/home/jquery/test/dist/`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, the various git repositories get into an inconsistent state where builds don't complete properly
|
|
(usually this results in the jquery.js or jquery.min.js being 0 bytes). If this happens, run `make clean`, then
|
|
run `make` again.
