Here are the steps that are required in order to build JOGL.

1. Optain the source code using git:
2. Gluegen Dev GIT Repo
3. JOGL Dev GIT Repo

It is crucial that you checkout the source code under a common root directory:

/home/dude/projects/jogamp> git clone --recurse-submodules git://jogamp.org/srv/scm/gluegen.git gluegen

/home/dude/projects/jogamp> git clone --recurse-submodules git://jogamp.org/srv/scm/jogl.git jogl

Now you should have following directory structure:

/home/dude/projects/jogamp
/home/dude/projects/jogamp/gluegen
/home/dude/projects/jogamp/jogl

Note-1: The GlueGen source must be fetched using -recurse-submodules, which imports JCPP, now used as the default C preprocessor.

Note-2: In case you do not get the JOGL sources with -recurse-submodules, you will miss the following features:

Note-3: OculusVR Support

Unset your CLASSPATH ENVIRONMENT variable: 

The Ant build requires that the JOGL jars not be visible on the classpath. On Unix, type unsetenv CLASSPATH into a csh or tcsh shell, or unset CLASSPATH into a Bourne shell. On Windows, type set CLASSPATH= into a command prompt.

Optional Copy and EDIT gluegen.properties: 

To specify different basic options for components and compilers, copy gluegen/make/gluegen.properties into your home directory (pointed to by the JAVA system property user.home). 

Optional Copy and edit jogl.properties: 

To specify different basic options for the build, copy jogl/make/jogl.properties into your home directory (pointed to by the Java system property user.home). 

Edit the copy to change desired settings.

Build the source tree: 

Open a command shell in the "gluegen/make" directory of the source tree and type "ant".

Then open a command shell in the "jogl/make" directory of the source tree and type "ant".

An experimental binding to the high-level Cg language by NVidia corporation can be generated by specifying -Djogl.cg=1 to ant; e.g. ant -Djogl.cg=1. The Cg binding has been tested on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Test your build: Stay in your command shell in the "jogl/make" directory of the source tree and type "ant junit.run".

Build Javadoc: Stay in your command shell in the "jogl/make" directory of the source tree and type "ant javadoc.all". This will produce the end-user DOCUMENTATION for JOGL along with some auxiliary utility packages.

Note that there are a lot of warnings produced by ANTLR about the C grammar and our modifications to some of the signatures of the productions; the C grammar warnings have been documented by the author of the grammar as having been investigated completely and harmless, and the warnings about our modifications are also harmless.
