Building Stendhal is very simple if you use ant and you satisfy the dependencies.
{{Navigation for Stendhal Builders and Hosters}}


==Requirements==
To compile Stendhal you will need:
* stendhal source as a stendhal-''version''-src.tar.gz <br>http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=games/game_stendhal#downloads
* Java SDK 1.5<br>http://java.sun.com ''or higher''
* Ant 1.6<br>http://ant.apache.org


== Build ==
= Build Tools =
=== Build using ant ===
First you need ant properly installed on your system to build Stendhal.


See [[HowToBuildStendhal/BuildTools|build tools page]].
Then unpack the stendhal source gzip. From command line:
tar xzf stendhal-''version''-src.tar.gz
cd stendhal-''version''


Now just write:
ant
This will build a full set of JAR files at stendhal-''version''/build/lib folder.


= Components =
;Client files
:build/lib/stendhal-''version''.jar
:build/lib/stendhal-data-''version''.jar
:build/lib/stendhal-sound-data-''version''.jar


All component packages, other than Android client, can be built with a single Ant command: <span style="color:darkred;">''ant dist''</span>. This will output the following:
;Server files
:build/lib/stendhal-server-''version''.jar
:build/lib/stendhal-xmlconf-''version''.jar
:build/lib/stendhal-maps-''version''.jar


* ''<span style="color:darkblue;">build/stendhal-&lt;version&gt;-src.tar.gz</span>''
If you want to create a full set of release packages you can write
* ''<span style="color:darkblue;">build/stendhal-server-&lt;version&gt;.zip</span> (includes web client)''
ant dist
* ''<span style="color:darkblue;">build/stendhal-&lt;version&gt;.zip</span> (Java client)''
* ''<span style="color:darkblue;">build/stendhal-webclient-&lt;version&gt;.zip</span> (requires server)''
* ''<span style="color:darkblue;">build/stendhal-starter-&lt;version&gt;.zip</span> (obsolete)''


''<span style="color:darkblue;">'''TODO:''' Instructions for individual components.</span>''
This will create binaries such as
;Client files
:build/stendhal-''version''.zip
:build/stendhal-FULL-''version''.zip


;Server files
== Server and Web Client ==
:build/stendhal-server-''version''.zip


== Desktop Client ==
;Source files
:build/stendhal-src-''version''.tar.gz


=== Build using IDE ===
== Java Desktop Client ==
You can also [[Configure a development environment (IDE)]].


== Trouble shooting ==
== Android Client ==
If you have the message error:
stendhal_source/build.xml:42: Could not create task or type of type: replaceregexp.


* [[BuildStendhalForAndroid#WebView_Client|Build Stendhal WebView Client for Android]]
For linux users this is corrected by installing the "ant-apache-regexp" package. If you use debian or another debian dist (like Ubuntu) this is included in the "ant-optional" package.


= Finally =
When you have successfully built Stendhal please read the install documentation. It is available on the Wiki at [[InstallingStendhal]].


= Systems =
In future if you wish to just create the client and server jars (not zips and all release packages) then
ant clean compile
will suffice. Remember to "ant clean" before you "ant build" everytime - this is done automatically if you "ant dist", however.

Assuming you have CVS installed, you can instead download our source from our CVS HEAD:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@arianne.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/arianne login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@arianne.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/arianne co -P ''stendhal''


* [[BuildStendhalOnUbuntu|Building Stendhal on Ubuntu® - Installation Guide Step-by-step]]
Which will check out a copy of the stendhal source into a folder called ''stendhal''. Then follow the steps to build using ant as before. If you are asked for a password during checkout, just leave it empty and hit enter.

Build Tools

See build tools page.


Components

All component packages, other than Android client, can be built with a single Ant command: ant dist. This will output the following:

  • build/stendhal-<version>-src.tar.gz
  • build/stendhal-server-<version>.zip (includes web client)
  • build/stendhal-<version>.zip (Java client)
  • build/stendhal-webclient-<version>.zip (requires server)
  • build/stendhal-starter-<version>.zip (obsolete)
