BUILDING CIPRES ON WINDOWS - for maintainers (i.e. those with svn access)
=======================================================================

PREREQUISITES:
	You need to have the following tools installed:
		- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
		- Python 2.4
		- Ant 1.6.5
		- A subversion client (svn)
		- Java 1.4x or higher

	To run Cipres you'll also need to have a copy of Paup installed. 

	You must have certain environment variables set.  Create a batch file to  set
	the following:

		- ANT_HOME must be set to the top of your ant installation

		- Variables for running the MSVC compiler from the command line must be
		set. You can set the required variables by running vsvars32.bat which is typically
		found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat.

		- Set your PATH environment variable such tht python, ant, java, svn and devenv
		can be run from the command line.

	You must have access to the cipres svn server at sdsc.  Read-only access is fine.


INITIAL BUILD:
1.	Download cipres-and-deps.zip and extract the contents. This will create a directory
	named cipres-and-deps.

2.	In a command window,
		cd cipres-and-deps
		configureTools.bat

	This installs, under cipres-and-deps, required third party libraries. The script also 
	checks out the latest cipres code from subversion to cipres-and-deps\cipres.


3.	cd cipres\cipres-build-scripts\build-for-windows
	makeCipres.bat
	makeInstall.bat

	This builds and installs cipres in cipres-and-deps\build.

4.	If you've runcipres before, make sure to remove any old configuration files:
	cd %HOME%
	rm -rf cipres 

5.	Try running cipres:
	cd cipres-and-deps\bin
	cipres.bat



SUBSEQUENT PARTIAL BUILDS:
	To do: More info will be added here soon.

	You can use ant in the java directories that contain build.xml files and you can use Microsoft
	Visual Studio to compile the C++ parts of cipres.  

	When you ran configureTools.bat a file named buildConfig.bat was created.  Run this batch file before
	using ant or visual studio.  Start visual studio from the command line as "devenv", so that it has
	access to the environment variables set by buildConfig.bat.



RUNNING ANT/JUNIT TESTS:
	These require a junit jar in the %ANT_HOME%\lib.  You can copy
	c:\cipres-and-deps\cipres\cipres_dist\lib\junit\jars\junit-3.8.1 to
	%ANT_HOME%\lib. 

	Don't interact with the gui the tests present, let it do its own thing.
