Step 1: Build using script

If you want to build netty-tcnative using manual steps, go to STEP 2.

Use the following commands to build netty-tcnative using the build script. Please make sure you have wget installed.

wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linux-on-ibm-z/scripts/master/netty-tcnative/2.0.65/build_netty.sh

# Build netty-tcnative
bash build_netty.sh [Provide -h to see a list of supported Java JDK variant]

If the build completes successfully, go to STEP 5. In case of error, check logs for more details or go to STEP 2 to follow manual build steps.
