[ceylon-dev] Need Basics of building the std library

[Michael Chermside]

I encountered a bug in the standard library, and tried to fix it.
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to build. (I submitted a pull
request with the changes ANYWAY, and hopefully it works, but there may be a
next time.)

I checked out the code for ceylon-sdk. Then I installed ant and tried
executing "ant" in the top level directory. This resulted in the following
errors:

[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource

net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties. It could not be found.
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource taskdef.properties.
It could not be found.
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource
aQute/bnd/ant/taskdef.properties. It could not be found.

I expect this is something quite straightforward, and all I really need to
do is to follow the build instructions. But I don't know where to FIND the
build instructions. the README.md file sends me to
https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon-dist#ceylon-distribution which then says
that it is deprecated.

Can anyone direct me to instructions on building the standard library?

You need to have the Ceylon distribution built in the same directory.
That is, you should have the repositories
https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon and
https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon-sdk cloned next to each other, so that
the ceylon-sdk build can refer to ../ceylon/...

Hi Michael,

the README in the SDK was indeed still pointing to the old instructions,
I've fixed that. If you update the SDK you'll see the correct URL.

Btw, often it's not actually necessary to have the very latest version of
Ceylon installed to compile the SDK.
You'd still have to clone the ceylon-sdk repository but instead of going
through all the trouble of compiling the Ceylon distribution you just check
out the SDK version you are currently using. So assuming you're running
Ceylon version 1.2.2 you'd do `git checkout 1.2.2`.
You'd then follow the build instructions as normal (`ant clean publish`)

HTH
