Reporting issues

Issues are for bugs/crashes, please do not use them to ask general questions. Always include the version you are having trouble with. Or if you're building from source, which source you're building. If you don't, we might assume that you are using latest-greatest and waste a bunch of time trying to reproduce a problem that might have fixed been already. Such things makes for very grumpy devs. Grumpy devs spend less time coding and more time doing stuff that makes them less grumpy.

Compiling and packaging Buildcraft

1. Ensure that Apache Ant (found here) is installed correctly on your system.

• Linux users will need the latest version of astyle installed as well.

1. Create a base directory for the build
2. Clone the Buildcraft repository into basedir/BuildCraft/

• Optional: Copy BuildCraft localization repository into basedir/BuildCraft-Localization

1. Navigate to basedir/Buildcraft in a shell and run ant (this will take 2-5 minutes)
2. The compiled and obfuscated jar will be in basedir/bin

Your directory structure should look like this before running ant:

---

basedir
\- buildcraft
 |- buildcraft_resources
 |- common
 |- ...
\- buildcraft.localization
 |- lang

---

And like this after running ant:

---

basedir
\- buildcraft
 |- bin
 |- build
 |- buildcraft_resources
 |- common
 |- download
 |- ...
\- buildcraft.localization
 |- lang

---
