# Chapter 10. Server Compilation - version 2.x and 3.x

Tigase XMPP Server version 4.x or later need slightly different procedure to compile.

Although the server doesn’t need any third-party libraries apart from Java 6.0 (1.6beta2) compliant JVM to run, Apache Ant tool and Ant-Contrib are used to build binaries of Tigase applications and libraries. Another tools which is needed is a Subversion which is required to download the most recent sources from Tigase repository.

To make it a list, again:

1. JDK-1.6 - Java SDK to compile and run Tigase applications.
2. Apache Ant - the build tool
3. Ant-Contrib - Apache Ant extensions used by build script (ant-contrib on gentoo, and ant-optional on Ubuntu)
4. Subversion - version control system used by Tigase.

Install all above in standard way, appropriate for your operating system. It is enough if they are available in system PATH variable so you can execute them from command line.

Tigase Server has been divided into a few smaller subprojects some time ago. In order to have it all working together we need to do compile them one by one. Here is step by step instruction how to do it. Assuming you already run command line shell and changed to directory where you want to keep all Tigase files do as follows:

1. Get tigase-utils sources and compile them:

       svn co https://svn.tigase.org/reps/tigase-utils/trunk/ utils
       cd utils
       ant clean jar
       cd ..

2. Get tigase-xmltools sources and compile them:

       svn co https://svn.tigase.org/reps/tigase-xmltools/trunk/ xmltools
       cd xmltools
       ant clean jar
       cd ..

3. Get tigase-server sources and compile them:

       svn co https://svn.tigase.org/reps/tigase-server/trunk/ server
       cp xmltools/jars/tigase-xmltools.jar server/libs/
       cp utils/jars/tigase-utils.jar server/libs/
       cd server
       ant clean jar

Now you have Tigase Server compiled and ready to run. To check and make sure it is indeed compiled and can be executed you can try to start the server. Assuming you are in the directory where you executed the last compilation command for server sources run following command:

    java -cp libs/tigase-utils.jar:libs/tigase-xmltools.jar:jars/tigase-server.jar tigase.server.XMPPServer

If it all worked correctly you should see output similar to presented below:

    2006-10-04 17:00:38  ConfigRepository.init()        WARNING:  Can not open existing configuration file
    2006-10-04 17:00:38  XMLDB.setupNewDB()                  INFO:     Create empty DB.
    2006-10-04 17:00:38  MessageRouter.addRegistrator()      INFO:     Adding registrator: Configurator
    2006-10-04 17:00:38  MessageRouter.addComponent()        INFO:     Adding component: Configurator
    2006-10-04 17:00:38  Configurator.setupLogManager()      WARNING:  DONE
    2006-10-04 17:00:38  Configurator.setupLogManager()      WARNING:  DONE
    2006-10-04 17:00:39  XMLRepository.()              WARNING:  Can not open existing user repository file

Now you can proceed to configuration document to learn how to tweak server settings or you can just start hacking server code and do experiments.
