SVN Build, Do It Yourself

[Snacko]

I made a package for windows that automates svn build, so everyone can check out the newest and most buggy version
http://www.mediafire.com/file/jekjjk2og ... ldv2.3.zip

Software used:
Eclipse Java Compiler ecj
7zip
Subversion

Needed software:
Windows (if you have linux/mac you should be able to obtain the software and write your own bash scripts based on the batches)
Java Runtime (I guess you already have it if you want to run Forge)

Usage:
run-first.bat > sets up local copy of SVN run this the first time you use the package or if you delete forge-svn directory
update-and-build.bat > updates your local copy and builds forge, once it's done you get forge directory with all you need and a forge.zip which is a compressed copy of this directory

The 2.3 version has everything included and working. It's a full standalone solution.

This is another package of scripts produced by another member. This was added to Snacko's message in an effort to make this material easier to find.

I took the batch files, merged them and made the output a bit prettier.

This is the result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/build-forge.bat

The target path is designated by the first command line parameter (it has to be in double quotes). (if you don't know how to set it: http://vgstrategies.about.com/od/faq/a/CommandLineP.htm)

You still need the rest of the files from the OP.

Edit:
I created a package containing everything needed: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/forge-build.zip

It also contains a file called "run.bat" that runs "build-forge.bat" in a way that makes it create the forge directory as a sibling to the build directory.

Suggestions for additional features are welcome .

Update:
The first version contained a bug which caused it to copy directories to the wrong place. I apologize for any trouble that this has caused. Please redownload the file.
In addition to the bugfix, the updated version contains some minor tweaks.

Update 1.1:

• "display_new_layout.xml" does not get copied anymore.
• Added comments on how to customize the output (open and modify the file with a text editor).
• Modified header text.

Update 1.2:

• Added "forge-svn\res\lib\java-yield-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar" to the java command.

Build script updated with the new jars (version 1.3):

• Batch file only: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/build-forge.bat
  
• Complete package: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/forge-build.zip

Update 1.4:

• Added a few lines to run.bat to make it update build-forge.bat, like goonjamin suggested. Lastly, since there were some people with locking issues, I added the cleanup script to the zip package.
  
• http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/forge-build.zip

• http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/build-forge.bat
• http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/run.bat
• http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5988273/cleanup.bat

Snackos script used xcopy iirc, but it says "Xcopy is now deprecated, please use Robocopy." under Vista and later.

Wow, that's very cool, thanks for posting Snacko

[Corwin72]

Is there a different link available? I can not pull it up.
Never mind. The link went live again.

Now I get the error when I run the first-run.bat
This application has failed to start because libsasl.dll was not found. reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I found a copy of libsasl.dll online but when I ran the application I received an entry point not found error.

The error is The procedure entry point sasl_errdetail could not be located in the dynamic link library libsasl.dll

Any ideas on what I should reinstall?

[silly freak]

this seems weird, libsasl is not required by forge, but likely by your svn client. everything works fine on linux, but I don't have a clue for windows... anyhow, it's not forge-related

[Corwin72]

Does anyone have a direct link to the SVN client that I need to use? Perhaps I am using the wrong one.

Eclipse SDK

Version: 3.5.2
Build id: M20100211-1343

[Snacko]

I had TortoiseSVN installed and overlooked those dlls. I've reuploaded the package, it now should work standalone. I've also edited the first post to the new version.

[Corwin72]

I am sorry for being a little slow. I have the forge.zip file and have extracted it but nothing happens when I double click on forge.jar or forge.exe from the extracted forge.zip.

Thoughts?

[DennisBergkamp]

Hm, for me it says "Invalid or corrupt Jar file" when I try to run it. Clearly, something went wrong.

[Snacko]

Ah I know what went wrong
Delete output directory and edit update-and-build.bat and replace with

Code: Select all

build\svn.exe update forge-svn
java -jar build\ecj-3.5.2.jar forge-svn\src -1.5 -classpath forge-svn\src;forge-svn\res\lib\google-collections-1.0.jar;forge-svn\res\lib\java-image-scaling-0.8.4.jar;forge-svn\res\lib\jdom-1.0.jar;forge-svn\res\lib\jl1.0.1.jar;forge-svn\res\lib\napkinlaf-1.2.jar;forge-svn\res\lib\napkinlaf-swingset-1.2.jar;forge-svn\res\lib\nimrodlf.jar;forge-svn\res\lib\substance.jar -g:none -d output
mkdir output\META-INF
copy forge-svn\build\manifest.forge output\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF /Y
cd output
..\build\7z.exe a -tzip -r -mx=9 ..\forge.jar *.class META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
cd ..
rmdir forge /s /q
mkdir forge
xcopy forge-svn\res\* forge\res\ /Y /S
copy forge-svn\forge.properties forge\ /Y
move forge.jar forge\
copy build\forge.exe forge\
del forge.zip
build\7z.exe a -tzip -r -mx=9 forge.zip forge/*

[Corwin72]

Yay! I have a working build

[Snacko]

Good I uploaded 2.2 version with the fixed batch file.

[Chris H.]

I am glad to hear that it is now working. I thought that the people who choose to keep a local copy of the SVN builds on their computer might be interested in this google url. You can visit this url and bookmark it. This url will provide you with a listing of the recent updates and also some info pertaining to the new material. I hope that this helps.

[Corwin72]

When I try to run the new forge after updating I get the error.
Could not find the main class:forge.Gui_NewGame. Program will exit.

Any ideas?

edit:
Tried to attach the forge.zip but it would not upload.

[silly freak]

how did you try to run it? in eclipse, under windows, linux , by double-clicking or command line?

[Corwin72]

I used the SVN auto build found in the OP.
