Poets that lasting marble seek,
Must carve in Latin or in Greek.
We write in sand, our language grows,
And like the tide, our work o'erflows.

Installing and Building MorphAdorner

Extract the files from morphadorner-2009-04-30.zip, retaining the directory structure, to an empty directory. The zip file contains precompiled (with Java 1.6) versions of all of the code as well as the javadoc. You do not need to rebuild the code unless you want to make changes. If you do want to rebuild the code, make sure you have installed recent working copies of Sun's Java Development Kit and Apache Ant on your system. Move to the directory in which you extracted morphadorner-2009-04-30.zip, and type:

ant

This should build MorphAdorner successfully.

Type

ant doc

to generate the javadoc (internal documentation).

Type

ant clean

to remove the effects of compilation.

Documentation

Printable documentation, in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, appears in the documentation/morphadorner.pdf file in the MorphAdorner release. MorphAdorner documentation is also available online. The online version will generally be more up-to-date than the printable version included in the release materials. The javadoc (internal documentation) is also available online as well as in the release materials in the javadoc/ directory. The online MorphAdorner modification history describes what has changed from one release of MorphAdorner to the next.

Running MorphAdorner

MorphAdorner has run successfully on Windows, Mac OS X, and various flavors of Linux.

The sample batch file adornncf.bat and the corresponding Linux script adornncf shows how to run MorphAdorner to adorn TEI Analytics format XML files for 19th century and later works in which quote marks are not distinguished from apostrophes. Use the sample batch file adornncfa.bat and the script adornncfa for works in which quote marks are distinguished from apostrophes. Use the batch file adornwright.bat and script adornwright for Wright archive texts. The sample batch file adorneme.bat and the corresponding Linux script adorneme shows how to run MorphAdorner to adorn TEI Analytics versions of XML files generated from the early modern English eebo/tcp collection. Please see Adorning a Text for more information on these and other sample batch files and scripts in the MorphAdorner release.

Don't forget to mark the Unix script files as executable before using them. On most Unix/Linux systems you can use the chmod command to do this, e.g.:

chmod 755 adornncfa

The MorphAdorner release contains a script makescriptsexecutable which applies chmod to each of the scripts in the release. On most Unix-like systems you can execute makescriptsexecutable by moving to the MorphAdorner installation directory and entering

chmod 755 makescriptsexecutable
./makescriptsexecutable

or

/bin/sh <makescriptsexecutable

There are presumably lots of warts, misfeatures, bugs, missing items, and whatnot. Use MorphAdorner with caution.
