GURPS Character Sheet

GURPS Character Sheet (GCS) is a stand-alone, interactive, character sheet editor that allows you to build characters for the GURPS 4^th Edition roleplaying game system.

Building from the command line

1. Make sure you have JDK 13 installed and set to be used as your default Java compiler. You can download it for your platform here: http://jdk.java.net/13/

2. Until the packager is part of the released JDK again, we also need to download a pre-release that contains it. You can download it for your platform here: https://jdk.java.net/15/

   Do NOT place this in your path. The build expects to find it in your home directory. If you placed it somewhere else, you'll need to adjust the variable for jpackage in the build.xml file.

3. Make sure you have Apache ANT installed. You can download it for your platform here: https://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

4. If you are building on Windows, you'll need to install WiX Toolset from here: https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/releases/tag/wix3112rtm

5. Clone the source repositories:

   % git clone https://github.com/richardwilkes/gcs
   % cd gcs
   % ant clone-deps
   

6. Build and bundle the code for your platform:

   % cd gcs
   % ant bundle
   

7. Later, to pull changes that have been committed since your initial build, you can do the following to pull those changes and re-build and bundle the code for your platform without going through all the steps again:

   % cd gcs
   % ant pull
   % ant bundle
   

As part of doing the clone-deps step above, a project for IntelliJ IDEA will have been checked out into a directory named gcs_intellij. This can be used to develop and debug GCS.
