Build Instructions
==================
1. Install jdk8, ant, python, C++ compiler and linker
1. Setup build environment. Install a git client, jdk8, ant, python, C++ compiler and linker
1. Install the latest [jdk8](http://jdk8.java.net/download.html)
2. Ensure [ant](http://ant.apache.org/) is installed and `ant -version` is _1.8_+
3. Ensure [python](http://python.org/) is installed and `python --version` is _2.7.5_+ <br/>
_tip_: __python3__ does __not__ work
4. Ensure ant, jdk8, python and appropriate platform-specific _C++_ compiler and linker are in the `PATH`
5. If needed, install a [git](http://git-scm.com/) client for your OS. Windows users see below
6. Extra steps for Windows users
1. Install a unix emulation like [cygwin](http://cygwin.com/) or
[mingw/msys](http://mingw.org/). If using [Git for Windows](http://msysgit.github.io/),
a version of msys is already [included](https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions).
This unix emulation provides the gnu diff and patch utilities.
2. Install [Microsoft Visual Studio](http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us).
Any recent version should be OK (2010, 2012, 2013 have been known to work).
Express versions will do.
3. Ensure that link.exe is the one from Visual Studio and not from cygwin or mingw/msys.
4. If a unix user, start `bash --login` from within a Visual Studio Command Prompt to
ensure that the Visual Studio environment is inherited.
2. Download [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) source
