DriveWire Server

This project is a refactor of the Color Computer DriveWire 4 project. For now, this project is in an experimental stage, and is likely to change significantly.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Note If you do not plan to build DriveWireServer, but just want to run it, jump to Running the application

Development Prerequisites

In order to build DriveWire 4, the following software is required:

• Java JVM >= 1.8 (Oracle JDK)
• Gradle (Gradle)
• GIT (GIT)

Development Tools Installation

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running

Clone (download) the DriveWire source

git clone <repository url>

Verify that you have at least Java JDK 8 or higher installed:

java -version
javac -version

Verify that you have gradle installed (tested with gradle 4.9, gradle 4+ should work):

gradle -version

Change directory into the project and execute

gradle clean build fatCapsule

- Or -

./gradlew

Running the application

Build using the steps above, or download the Pre-built binary

If you build yourself - the jar file will be in the build/libs directory.

Currently, as this only implements the server functionality, the best way to get a configuration file setup is to run the existing DriveWire 4 UI, execute the wizard, then copy the created config.xml file and point to it using the --config option:

cd build/libs
java -jar DriveWireServer-4.4.0-capsule.jar --config=<path_to_config>

Note: if you do not supply --config a default (probably not useful) config will be loaded instead.
