README.md

rebar

rebar is an Erlang build tool that makes it easy to compile and test Erlang applications, port drivers and releases.

rebar is a self-contained Erlang script, so it's easy to distribute or even embed directly in a project. Where possible, rebar uses standard Erlang/OTP conventions for project structures, thus minimizing the amount of build configuration work. rebar also provides dependency management, enabling application writers to easily re-use common libraries from a variety of locations (git, hg, etc).

Building

Information on building and installing Erlang/OTP can be found in the INSTALL.md document.

Dependencies

To build rebar you will need a working installation of Erlang R13B03 (or later).

Should you want to clone the rebar repository, you will also require git.

Downloading

Clone the git repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/basho/rebar.git

Building rebar

$ cd rebar/
$ ./bootstrap
Recompile: src/getopt
...
Recompile: src/rebar_utils
==> rebar (compile)
Congratulations! You now have a self-contained script called "rebar" in
your current working directory. Place this script anywhere in your path
and you can use rebar to build OTP-compliant apps.

Contributing to rebar

Indentation

To have consistent indentation we have vi modeline/emacs local variable
headers in rebar's source files. This works automatically with vi.
With Emacs you have to declare 'erlang-indent-level set to 4
as a safe local variable value. If not configured Emacs will prompt
you to save this as part of custom-set-variables:

'(safe-local-variable-values (quote ((erlang-indent-level . 4))))

You can also tell Emacs to ignore file variables:

(setq enable-local-variables nil
      enable-local-eval nil)
