Building Stendhal is very simple if you use ant and you satisfy the dependencies.
 
You can also [[Configure a development environment (IDE)]].
 
=Requirements=
To compile Stendhal you will need:
* modulestendhal 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''
* module marauroa <br>http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=servers/server_marauroa
* Java SDK 1.5<br>http://java.sun.com
* Ant 1.6<br>http://ant.apache.org
 
Optionally:
* Tiled<br>http://tiledmapeditor.rpgdx.netorg/
 
You can download a compiled marauroa file but Stendhal CVS occasionally requires Marauroa CVS as well.
 
We do not include dependencies in the source download, to keep the size small. They are in CVS, however, and you can download them via the CVS webfrontend at http://arianne.cvs.sourceforge.net/arianne/stendhal/libs/
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
==Build using ant==
First you need ant properly installed on your system to build Stendhal.
Second you need to compile successfully Marauroa using the compile task.
 
Then unpack the stendhal source gzip.
To build Stendhal first make sure you have the JAR files in the correct place.
 
<pre>
cd path/to/stendhal source
cd ..
mkdir libs
cd stendhal
</pre>
 
Now add any missing dependencies to the ''lib'' folder: ''TODO: check what these are''
Make sure you remove the version number from name or that you create links to the real file without any version number.
 
Now just write:
ant dist
Line 37 ⟶ 35:
stendhal-''version''.jar
stendhal-data-''version''.jar
stendhal-sound-data-''version''.jar
 
Server files
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
 
In future if you wish to just create the client and server jars (not zips and all release packages) then
ant clean && antcompile
will suffice. Remember to "ant clean" before you "ant build" everytime - this is done automatically if you "ant dist", however.
