@subsection install_src_deps Getting the Dependencies
Recompiling an official archive is not much more complex. SimGrid only uses very standard tools:
- - C compiler, C++ compiler, make and friends.
+ - C compiler, C++ compiler, make and friends. SimGrid is rather
+ demanding on the compiler. We use the C++11 standard, and older
+ compilers tend to fail on us. It seems that g++ 5.0 or higher is
+ required nowadays (because of boost).
- perl (but you may try to go without it)
- We use cmake to configure our compilation
([download page](http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html)).
You need cmake version 2.8.8 or higher. You may want to use ccmake
for a graphical interface over cmake.
- boost:
+ - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-context-dev`
- Max OS X: with [fink](http://www.finkproject.org/): `fink install boost1.53.nopython`,
or with homebrew: `brew install boost`
- - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-context-dev`
- - Java (if you want to build the Java bindings): Grab a
- [full JDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads)
+ - Java (if you want to build the Java bindings):
+ - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install default-jdk`
+ - Mac OS X or Windows: Grab a [full JDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads)
+ - Lua (if you want to build with lua enabled):
+ - Debian / Ubuntu: `apt-get install liblua5.3-dev lua5.3`
+ - Windows: choco install lua53
+ - From the source: you need to patch the sources to build dynamic libraries
+ - [Download lua 5.3](http://www.lua.org/download.html). SimGrid
+ won't work with lua 5.2 as lua breaks the compatibility.
+ - Open the archive: `tar xvfz lua-5.3.*.tar.gz`
+ - Enter the directory: `cd lua-5.3*`
+ - Patch the sources: `patch -p1 < /path/to/simgrid/...../tools/lualib.patch`
+ - Build and install lua: `make linux && sudo make install`

+@subsubsection install_java Build the Java bindings
+
+Once you have the [full JDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) installed
+(on Debian/Ubuntu, grab the package ```default-jdk``` for that), things should be as simple as:
+
+~~~~{.sh}
+cmake -Denable_java=ON .
+make
+~~~~
+
+After the compilation, the file ```simgrid.jar``` is produced in the
+root directory. If you only want to build the jarfile and its
+dependencies, type ```make simgrid-java_jar```. It will save you the
+time of building every C examples and other things that you don't need
+for Java.
+
+** **Error: jni could not be found**. Sometimes, the build system fails
+to find the JNI headers. In this case, you need to first locate them as follows:
+
+~~~~{.sh}
+$ locate jni.h
+/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/include/jni.h
+/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/include/jni.h
+~~~~
+
+Then, set the JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable to the right
+path, and relaunch cmake. If you have several version of jni installed
+(as above), use the right one (check the java version you use with
+```javac -version```).
+
+~~~~{.sh}
+export JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/include/
+cmake -Denable_java=ON .
+make
+~~~~
+
+Note that the filename ```jni.h``` was removed from the path.

On a multiarch x86_64 Linux, it should be possible to compile a 32 bit
