    18 Building the library

    19 ====================

    20 

    21 The library files are scattered in many files. An ant build script has been made to make the developer and

    22 minified versions of the player. It is located in sbin/build/client.xml.

    23 To build the library, simply run sbin/build/compil.bat if you are running windows, or sbin/build/compil.sh

    24 if you're running Unix.

    32 The code

    33 ========

    34 

    35 The code is scattered among several files, which are concatenated and minified during the

    36 build process. The html templates in the templates/ directory are also "jsified" during

    37 this process, to be used by the js code.
