Heyho,

I want to explain you how to compile Slick-AE.

1. Download the whole source code of Slick: https://bitbucket.org/kevglass/slick/downloads (From the branch development)
2. Download ANT: http://artfiles.org/apache.org//ant/bin ... .3-bin.zip
3. Extrackt ANT
4. Extract the folders: Slick and Slick-AE from the source code archive to the /bin/ folder inside your ANT folder.
5. Open a command promt inside you /bin folder and execute the following command: "ant.bat -buildfile Slick-AE/build.xml"
6. Finished! There should be now a slick-ae.jar in: apache-ant-x.x.x\bin\Slick-AE\target

Always make sure you extracted Slick and Slick-AE, because Slick-AE depends Slick.

If you have any questins contact me. After this process you can delete the complete ant folder.

MfG p000ison

Have fun!

So I had a number of problems doing this, but I succeeded, and here's a few notes on that.

1. Might have to set the JAVA_HOME. In Windows you do this with

Code:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdkx.x.x_xx

Where the x letters are the version number of the JDK.

2. When you go to the download link, you'll need to click on "Branches" then you'll see the branches where you can download a .zip, .bz2, or tar.gz of the files in the branch that you'll need in order to build this.

Also thanks to p000ison for posting this. I found this was the best way to go about it, having the projects in the bin directory of ant.
