Details

To build VCC you will need the following components:

• Apache Maven 2.x
• Mercurial client (on windows TortoiseHG is a good option for windows)

Once you have these running you should follow these steps:

hg clone https://mailleux@code.google.com/p/virtual-combat-cards/ virtual-combat-cards

With this command your base directory will be virtual-combat-cards.

2. One of the dependencies is not available on Maven repositories, so you have to download InfoNode Docking Windows and issue the following Maven command to add it to your repository:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.infonode -DartifactId=idw-gpl -Dversion=1.6.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<path to lib>/idw-gpl.jar

You will need to download the GPL version of the library to run this command (it is shipped on the normal VCC releases).

cd vcc-run

4. Compile and install the vcc-run module:

mvn install

5. Go back to the base directory:

cd ..
