Areca Backup - Building

The building pipeline is initially defined by build.xml and is executed by Apache Ant.

Supported platforms

  • Execute the following commands from the project root folder (areca-backup/).
  • ant builds a release bundle for the current platform if it is supported.
  • Run the releases.sh script to build all bundles.
  • The release bundle output folder is areca-backup/releases/.
  • Some builds have not yet been tested to see if they run properly.
  • See ivy.xml.

Windows platform

  • ant windows-x86-64
  • ant windows-x86-32

Linux platform

Build Areca to support debug mode

Debug mode requires compiling Areca specifically to enable this development feature.

Add the -Ddebug=on argument to the above compilation commands (e.g. ant linux-x86-64 -Ddebug=on). debug can be set to either on or off (default value) but you do not need to add -Ddebug=off to the off setting;

Note: You can only use breakpoints if you have already compiled Areca with -Ddebug=on; otherwise, you may only be able to catch exceptions.

Troubleshooting

jni.h was not found

It caused by missing or wrong setting of jni.h.dir and jni_md.h.dir which are files that are provided by the JDK.

Check: locate-jni-headers.sh
