I want to built Computercraft from the source. But how can I do that? I had downlaoded the GitHub repository and run setup.sh. After a half hour, I got the Message, that it has finished but I dont't get a file.

Run the ./deploy.sh or deploy.bat file (.bat if windows, .sh if not) and wait for a few minutes - you should get a file in build/libs which you can then play with. Alternatively, just download one of the "nightly" builds that CrazedProgrammer has set up.

Note: If you're writing a feature, you can use ./gradlew runClient instead. This will build ComputerCraft and start the game, which saves an awful lot of time.

Note: If you're thinking of writing a feature, think really hard about it first. Have a look through some of the existing PRs and see what you think other people did wrong or right.

Thankyo for the link. I only want to have the latest beta of Computercraft. But I have a question: I have built Computercraft (Just for Fun) with your command. But if I click on a Computer, I only get a black screen. CraftOS is not booting. Why?

I had update tehe code and make another build. Same Problem. The last build from the Website is a half hour ago, and the last code change is a hour ago, so the built from the website and my built has the same codebase. Why works the built from the website and my built not?

[SquidDev]

How are you building it? Are you using ./deploy.sh or ./gradlew build? If the former is still not working, replace your build.gradle file with this one and try again.

It works with your file. Thankyou. You should make a Pull Request, to put this file in the Computercraft Repository.

That is pretty much what apemanzilla's PR does, just with a couple of cosmetic changes.

I need further help: Building on my PC works, but the builtserver from CrazedProgrammer is down, so I want to make a Cronjob on my PI to built this. But I only get the error:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap

How can I solve this?

[SquidDev]

The build server isn't down, it just got moved to here.

In regards to your error, you're just running out of memory - the build process requires more than 2GB of memory so you'll need to allocate more.

[Wilma456]

Thank you for the new link. I had changed my bookmark.

But how can I allocate more memory?

You should be able to allocate more using the GRADLE_OPTS option and the appropriate Java flags: GRADLE_OPTS=-Xmx3G ./gradlew build will build it with 3GB. Make sure you're running 64 bit Java too.
