First of all you will need Tortoise SVN to download the Source Files:
http://sourceforge.net/project/download ... a=80196722

In the past there were problems with releases over 1.4.8, so i suggest use this version to be sure.

Next step is to download apache ant:
http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

Place it on your hard drive i use C:/

Now the final steps

Go into your system32 and find the cmd.exe, copy it and then place it into your gameserver and datapack folders.

After that you open the cmd.exe in each folder and type:

Code: Select all

C:/ant/bin/ant 
hit enter and the compile will start!


If you have any problems or questions feel free to ask for help here.

you can add the bin folder of your ant directory to the PATH environmental variable, so you can use just the command ant from anywhere in your command line.

if you use e.g. total commander, you dont need to copy cmd.exe anywhere. just type the cmd command in the directory you want to work (so e.g. the gameserver directory where the build.xml file is located) and type ant.
