Introduction

This guide contains information for building and running the phoneME™ Feature software, an optimized Java™ ME stack based on Milestone Release 2 (MR2) of the phoneME Feature software project.

This guide allows you to take the following general steps:

• Set up and configure your Linux/i386 or Win32/i386 build environment.
• Build a default version of the JavaCall porting layer (Win32/i386 only), PCSL libraries, CLDC, and phoneME Feature software binaries.
• Run the phoneME Feature software on your default platform.
• Find additional information about phoneME Feature software.

NOTE: This document is part of the MR2 development release version of phoneME Feature software. The instructions have not been verified or tested. The contents will continue to change as development moves forward. For a stable, unchanging version (except for bug fixes), see the MR1 release of the phoneME Feature project.

Build Requirements

When building the phoneME Feature software, the machine where you setup your build environment and carry out the build instructions is called your build platform. The build platform is the machine where source code is installed, the compilers are run, and executable code is built. This executable code is then installed and run on a target platform.

The phoneME Feature software supports the following build platforms:

• Linux/i386
• Win32/i386

The phoneME Feature software supports the following target platforms:

• Linux/ARM (Texas Instruments P2SAMPLE64-V6 board)
• Linux/i386 (emulation mode only)
• Windows/i386 (emulation mode only)

Requirements for Building on a Linux/i386 Platform

To properly build executables for the Linux/i386 and Linux/ARM target platform, a Linux/i386 build platform must meet the following requirements:

• Red Hat Linux distribution version 7.2 - 9.0
• Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE™) Development Kit (JDK™) version 1.4.2
• GNU Make version 3.79.1 or later
• GNU Cross Compiler (GCC) 3.4.6 or later
• Trolltech QT Toolkit, version 3

The following software is optional:

• Doxygen version 1.4.1 (used to build PCSL API documentation)

For more information on aquiring and installing these linux/i386 build platform tools, see Setting Up the linux/i386 Build Environment.

Requirements for Building on a Win32/i386 Platform

A Win32/i386 build-target platform must meet the following requirements:

• Windows 2000 or Windows XP
• JDK version 1.4.2
• Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC++) Professional Version 6.0 or higher (or Visual Studio .NET 2003 or later)
• Cyg4Me version 1.1 (a version of Cygwin for building Java ME technology. Cyg4Me contains GNU Make 3.79.1.)

The following software is optional:

• Doxygen version 1.4.1 (used to build PCSL API documentation)

For more information on aquiring and installing these win32/i386 build platform tools, see Setting Up the win32/i386 Build Environment.

Commercial Documentation

This guide provides only the minimal information needed to set up, build, and run the phoneME Feature software quickly, using only the default settings for each implementation.

In general, for additional information on any topic presented in this document, see the Sun Java Wireless Client Build Guide.

For more information about other phoneME Feature software topics, including porting, multitasking, using Adaptive User Interface technology, and others, see the commercial documentation set.
