Depending on your system, you should start Syndie with
syndie.exe, syndie.sh, or syndie.command.
There are also convenience jars in this directory which can be run
with, for example
java -jar syndie.jar
However, you can also launch Syndie as a standard java application:
- specify the classpath to include:
- lib/syndie.jar
- lib/hsqldb.jar
- swt.jar (likely in lib/, but you may use another one)
- specify the main class:
- syndie.gui.SWTUI
- specify any command line parameters:
- use "--cli" if you want to run the text interface
- an additional parameter defines an alternate Syndie data directory
OSX users will also need to specify -XstartOnFirstThread as a command
line parameter
Additionally, you can specify a dictionary to use on the command
line with -Dsyndie.dict=filename, where filename is the path to a file
containing a newline delimited list of words. On windows and OSX, an
English dictionary is bundled with Syndie, and on linux, Syndie uses
the contents of /usr/share/dict/words by default.
So, on Windows:
javaw -cp lib\syndie.jar;lib\hsqldb.jar;lib\swt.jar syndie.gui.SWTUI
on Linux:
java -cp lib/syndie.jar:lib/hsqldb.jar:${SWTDIR}/swt.jar \
syndie.gui.SWTUI
or on OSX:
java -d32 -XstartOnFirstThread -cp lib/syndie.jar:lib/hsqldb.jar:lib/swt.jar \
syndie.gui.SWTUI
