Build from sources

Shen-JVM uses Gradle as a build tool.

• Install Gradle
• Setup Gradle wrapper

gradle wrapper

• Build Shen-JVM

./gradlew uberJar

or

gradlew uberJar

• Clean previous builds and build Shen-JVM

./gradlew clean uberJar

or

gradlew clean uberJar

The JAR file will be generated as PROJECT_HOME/build/libs/shen-jvm-x.x.x.jar

Run Shen-JVM (from releases)

java -jar shen-jvm-x.x.x.jar

or if rlwrap is installed

rlwrap java -jar shen-jvm-x.x.x.jar

When running the Shen test suite, it is recommended to increase the heap size and thread stack size using the Java options such as below. Especially the thread stack size is important and otherwise a stack overflow might occur.

java -Xms200m -Xmx2g -Xss4m -jar shen-jvm-x.x.x.jar

or

rlwrap java -Xms200m -Xmx2g -Xss4m -jar shen-jvm-x.x.x.jar

Run Shen-JVM (built from sources)

java -jar ./build/libs/shen-jvm-x.x.x.jar

or with rlwrap and Java options

rlwrap java -Xms200m -Xmx2g -Xss4m -jar ./build/libs/shen-jvm-x.x.x.jar

Run Shen Test

(cd "shen/test")
(load "README.shen")
(load "tests.shen")

or the one-liner

(cd "shen/test")(load "README.shen")(load "tests.shen")
