Talk:Setting up your programming environment

From Whirled

Windows

NOTE: There is a windows installer for Ant that will set the PATH properly. You have to reboot when you finish with the installer. (This will greatly simplify this page if we make people install Ant on windows). Windows installer: http://wiki.apache.org/ant/AntOnWindows

Ok... this is as far as I've gotten with Windows (XP, should also work for 2k or ME) go into the System properties and click the 'Advanced' tab click 'Environment Variables'

Under 'User Variables', click 'New'

  Variable Name: ANT_HOME
  Variable Value: c:\ant (or wherever you installed it)

repeat with

  Variable Name: JAVA_HOME
  Variable Value: c:\Java\jdk1.5.0_11 (again, your installation path)

Under 'System variables', find 'Path' and edit it to add ;c:\ant\bin to the end of the current path. (Or your Ant\bin path)

I have no idea how to make that wiki-pretty.

Mac OS X

The stand-alone Flash app does not seem to work well with the editor. What I tried doing was pulling out the "Flash Player" file in Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/, and using that as my executable. While that didn't work, I was then able to at least run "ant test" and then go to http://localhost:8080/game-client.swf?username=tester_1 in my browser to test the app.

This program isn't in the latest Whirled SDK. I assume it's okay to use Reversi instead? Scrappy 23:32, 1 April 2008 (PDT)
