Installation Guide

You should be able to compile CACAO on supported platforms with a simple:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

CACAO can also be run from the build directory (./src/cacao/cacao), but then a proper BOOTCLASSPATH environment variable needs to be set.

There are some noteworthy switches to ./configure:

Switch	Description
`--prefix=<path>`	Use this switch to change the default installation path of CACAO, which is `/usr/local/cacao`.
`--with-java-runtime-library=<type>`	specifies which type of classpath to use as Java runtime library (cldc1.1,gnuclasspath,openjdk) [default=gnuclasspath]
