| # Rebol [R3] Source Code Distribution | ||
|
|
||
| Purpose of this **Rebol fork** is to push the origial [Carl's source](https://github.com/rebol/rebol) to be usable at least like Rebol 2, | ||
| but keep the source code clean and project easy to build. Use [CHANGES.md](https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3/blob/master/CHANGES.md) file to see changes made in this branch. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Issues reporting | ||
|
|
||
| Preferred way for issue reporting is using [dedicated issue repository](https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol-issues/issues). It's a fork of the original Rebol issue repository, which was filled with issues from [CureCode issue tracker](https://www.curecode.org/rebol3/view-tickets.rsp), which was used before Rebol was on Github. I'm not using the original Rebol issue repository, because I was not allowed to even add labels to my own issues. It was later moved under Metaeducation account and is used for Ren-C development anyway. | ||

||
| There is also [Shinxin's fork](https://github.com/zsx/r3), which I was initially using for _chery-picking_, | ||
| as it contains modifications from Atronix and Saphirion. But its use is now limited as it depends on non-public modules and also there is not much life visible recently. | ||
| # Rebol [R3] Source Code Distribution (bootstrap) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Important note! | ||
| This branch is supposed to be used only to get a bootstrapped Rebol build (without need to use any other precompiled binary). | ||
| This temporary Rebol should not be used for anything else than to build the correct version for given platform. | ||
| Information provided in `system/build` info may not be correct! | ||
|
|
||
| ## Usage | ||
|
|
||
| Modify existing files in the `/make` directory (if needed) and use classic `make` to build the bootstrap. | ||
| For example: | ||
| ``` | ||
| make -f rebol-linux-bootstrap-32bit.mk | ||
| ``` | ||
| If the compilation would not fail, you can use Rebol Siskin-builder script to build the normal Rebol using: | ||
| ``` | ||
| git clone https://github.com/Siskin-Framework/Builder --depth 1 | ||
| cd Builder | ||
| ./rebol-linux-bootstrap-32bit siskin.r3 rebol | ||
| ``` | ||
| The last command should download the latest Rebol repository and provide an interactive input of available targets for current platform (linux). | ||
|
|
||
| If the platform is not a linux, you may need to modify the `siskin.r3` file to modify value in the `system/platform`. | ||
| The value is protected, so one would do for example: | ||
| ``` | ||
| unprotect 'system/platform | ||
| system/platform: 'OpenBSD | ||
| ``` |
