#903 Building from Source
Message when running ant:

BUILD FAILED
.../Colossus/build.xml:79: srcdir ".../Colossus/${core.src.dir}" does not exist!
Actually, build.xml references quite a few undefined variables: core.src.dir, testresults.dir, build.classes.dir, build.javadoc.dir, etc. These don't seem meant to be user-modifiable. Clearly, I must be missing a build step.
Which version of ant do you use, and in which directory are you? We used ant 1.7 and 1.8; newer ones most likely do not work.
I checkout the Colossus directory and cd into it and say "ant" inside and it works for me:
[clemens@zotac ~]$ cd
[clemens@zotac ~]$ mkdir svn
[clemens@zotac ~]$ cd svn
[clemens@zotac svn]$
[clemens@zotac svn]$ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/colossus/code/trunk/Colossus trunk1

Hmm, I was using the sourceforge tarball (Colossus-0.14.0.zip) and not subversion. That tarball is missing build.properties. For the record, building from subversion using ant 1.9.3 (ubuntu 14.04) works perfectly.
Thanks,
