3.1 Downloading JAMin

JAMin is available as a tarball from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jamin.  JAMin is a rapidly changing beast.  Because of this you may want to get the JAMin software from CVS.  If you decide to use CVS here are the commands to download JAMin:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamin login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamin co jamin

When you are prompted for a password simply press <Enter>.
 

3.2 Building and installing JAMin

After downloading the tarball:

tar -xvzf jamin-*.tar.gz
cd jamin-*
./configure
make
make install



If you downloaded from CVS do the following:

cd jamin
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

Notice that we didn't specify --prefix=/usr on the ./configure line.  This is because JAMin is a program and it only needs to be in your path to run.  You can put it in /usr if you want.  Just remember to be consistent - do it the same way every time.
 

3.3 Configuring JAMin

JAMin has a single configuration file - jamin_ui.  This file can be used to define GTK user  interface  customization.  It is not required.  There is an example loaded into ${prefix}/share/jamin/examples/jamin_ui when you do the make install.    To   customize   that   file,  copy  it  to ~/.jamin/jamin_ui and make changes.
