In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed. Note that you need to have autocrlf off as we track whitespace changes (git config --global core.autocrlf false).
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/freedot/tstolua.git
Change to the tstolua directory:
cd tstolua
Install Jake tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g jake
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
jake local # Build the compiler into built/local
jake clean # Delete the built compiler
jake LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
jake tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
jake runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>.
jake runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is jake runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
jake baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from jake runtests.
jake -T # List the above commands.
