[Rails-devel] How do I get the source?

[John D. G. <jd...@di...>]

I want to create a new variant, but the .zip file doesn't seem to contain any
XML, or for that matter any Java code.  Where is it?  (If I'm expected to use
SVN or some newer gadget to get it, then I need instructions and passwords.)

The source is available via the Git repository.

Most of the basic instructions on cloning the git repository are here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rails/develop

It's basically just that single "git clone" command.

There's a ton of documentation on learning Git located here:
http://git-scm.com/documentation

I'm looking forward to seeing your patches posted to the list when
they're ready. :-)

OK, I've gotten that far (after installing Cygwin).

But I can't tell what to do to build the code.  "make_rails_pkg.sh" seems to
be about creating a tarball, while I don't think I have either the programs
that created "build.xml" and "buildRails.xml" or the ones that can use them.

I have the latest JDK (7u2), but Cygwin installed its own version of Java
and I'm not sure how you build a program under *either* version.  If there's
a "makefile" I haven't found it yet.

Me, too.  I've got a huge to-do list, about half bugs, half features. :)

I believe all of the build functionality is contained in the Ant
build.xml, so you should be able to just run "ant build" to get the
source to build. I believe you can install Ant via Cygwin's installer,
too.

For reference, Ant's docs are here: http://ant.apache.org/

Cygwin doesn't have ant, and maybe doesn't support it.  I downloaded and unpacked
the Ant distribution and set the PATH, but when I try to test the install by
typing "ant" from the Cygwin shell, I get this:

Unfortunately, this is where we hit the limits on my knowledge of
Cygwin. It's been a few years since I regularly did much of anything
on a Windows machine. Does Google give you anything useful searching
on that error?

I believe Erik uses Windows, but I think he does everything through
Eclipse, which has plugins for Git and built-in support for doing Ant
builds from within the IDE.

I don't do ant builds, I'm just running inside Eclipse (or from the Rails jar in case I'm looking back to past releases).

But it seems to me that the commands you're running suffer from spurious CR ('\r') end-of-line characters.
Perhaps you should convert some file(s) with dos2unix?

Erik.

I just realized that I probably left out some details.

There's no passwords or anything you need to obtain a copy of the
source code. The Git repository can be cloned read-only by anyone that
wants a copy of the source code.

The code is licensed under the terms of the GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html). If memory serves, it's
licensed under "version 2 or later", so you can use it under the terms
of either version 2 or version 3 of the GPL, whichever suits your
preferences.

Obtaining Git for your platform depends on which OS you're running.
Most Linux distros have Git available in their package repositories.
For Mac, it's available from MacPorts, Fink, or HomeBrew. For Windows,
you can use Cygwin, MSysGit, or TortoiseGit.

In addition, there's the Egit plugin for Eclipse, if you'd like to
work with a full IDE.

Some more info about the Rails development setup is found here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rails/index.php?title=Main_Page#Developer_Information

The xml-configuration files reside inside the Rails jar file which itself is 
part of the released zip-file.

On Linux the usual archive/zip-tools allow viewing/editing the jar-archives 
similar to zip-archives, I assume that is true for Windows/Mac too.
This allows testing changes of the xml-files without installing a full 
development setup. However java-files are not part of the release.

HI, 

	and please be aware that outside of a vanilla implementation of the
1830 basic rules and the 1835 basic rules (maybe an 18EU and 1856
clone rulewise) most likely modifactions to game mechanics outside of
the XML-configuration files will be necessary at this stage. 

	Regards,
