7What you need to build your own jQuery:
8 - Make sure that you have Java installed.
9
10   If not, go to this page and download "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0"
11   http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
12
13 - You now have two options for building jQuery, if you have access to
14   common UNIX commands (like 'make', 'mkdir', 'rm', 'cat', and 'echo')
15   then simply type 'make' to build all the components.
16
17 - The other option is if you have Ant installed (or are on Windows and
18   don't have access to make). You can download Ant from here:
19   http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
20
21   If you do have Ant, everytime (in this README) that I say 'make', do
22   'ant' instead - it works identically (for all intents and purposes).

24How to build your own jQuery:
25
26In the main directory of the distribution (the one that this file is in), type
27the following to make all versions of jQuery, the documentation, and the test suite:
28  make
29
30Here are each of the individual items that are buildable from the Makefile.
31
32make jquery
33  The standard, uncompressed, jQuery code.
34  Makes: ./dist/jquery.js
35
36make lite
37  jQuery without all the additional inline documentation and test cases.
38  Makes: ./dist/jquery.lite.js
39
40make pack
41  A compressed version of jQuery (made with Packer).
42  Makes: ./dist/jquery.pack.js
43
44make docs
45  Builds a complete copy of the documentation, based upon the jQuery source.
46  Makes ./docs/
47  Open this file in your browser:
48    ./docs/index.xml
49
50make test
51  Builds a complete copy of the test suite, based upon the jQuery source.
52  Makes ./test/
53  Open this file in your browser:
54    ./test/index.html
55
56Finally, you can remove all the built files using the command:
57  make clean
58
59Additionally, if you want to install jQuery to a location that is not this
60directory, you can specify the PREFIX directory, for example:
61  make PREFIX=/home/john/test/
62OR
63  make PREFIX=~/www/ docs
64
