In my ever expanding quest for places to integrtate Sakai into, I have decided to start playing with VUE (http:\/\/vue.tccs.tufts.edu\/). VUE is pretty cool – it makes context maps.
\nIn my crazy design thoughts, I want Sakai to hand VUE maps over web services. Those maps will contain information about sites the user has access to on the Sakai Host, and pages within those sites.
\nThis is a long term fun thing for me. Thanks to Jeff K and Anoop K for their help on this.
\nBut I figured I would share how I got VUE to compile on my Mac in case you want to be a cool VUE developer too.
\nIt is (yet another) Chuck C-Schell script that I wronte because I have a terrible memory!
\nIt grabs source, does a bit of fiddling with the source, compiles, and runs VUE.<\/p>\n
\n#!\/bin\/csh
\n# Chuck Severance’s VUE bootstrap script – Only tested on a Mac OS\/X
\n# To run this type
\n# cd ~\/dev
\n# csh vue-bootstrap.csh
\nset MYPATH=`pwd`
\n# Download VUE source using curl if necessary
\nif ( -d keepzips ) then
\necho keepzips directory exists…
\nelse
\necho Creating keepzips directory …
\nmkdir keepzips
\nendif
\nif ( -f keepzips\/VUE_1_4_0_src.zip ) then
\necho keepzips\/VUE_1_4_0_src.zip exists…

\ncd keepzips
\ncurl -O http:\/\/easynews.dl.sourceforge.net\/sourceforge\/tuftsvue\/VUE_1_4_0_src.zip
\ncd $MYPATH
\nendif
\n# clean up the directory and save current contents
\n\/bin\/rm -rf VUE-reallyold
\nif ( -d VUE ) then
\nmv VUE-old VUE-reallyold
\necho Removing old version in the background

\nendif
\nmkdir VUE
\nmkdir VUE\/lib
\nmkdir VUE\/VUE_1_4_0_src
\ncd VUE\/VUE_1_4_0_src
\nunzip $MYPATH\/keepzips\/VUE_1_4_0_src.zip
\necho Moving jars from the checkout directory to the lib directory
