Building YUI

Steps

• Read and understand the documentation on Contribute Code to YUI - clone your copy of YUI to your development machine.
• Read and understand the Shifter documentation. Most of what you need to know will be found here.
  • Install node.js
  • install Shifter: sudo npm -g i shifter
  • go to the directory you want built within YUI and just run shifter
    • For example cd yui3/src/anim & shifter
    • output goes to ../../build

Tips

• For help with Shifter just run shifter -help
• Make sure you are always running the latest version of Shifter shifter --version (it will let you know if you are out of date.)
• Don't use the --compressor flag (it forces the use of the old YUI Compressor)
