What is Jam?
The Ingres build process uses a tool called Jam developed by Chris Seiwald of Perforce. Because Jam's command language and processing logic are different to make, new users often have trouble getting started with it, so we have assembled the following resources to help you get comfortable with the technology.
Getting Started with Jam
The following tutorial, presented by Laura Wigerd at a Perforce User Conference demonstrates some of Jam’s most useful features in a series of progressively interesting examples. The basic knowledge gleaned from these examples will give you the insight you need to be comfortable with the use of Jam when building Ingres.
