I have issues when I launch the sim with incompatibilities between 64 and 32 bit images and then with incompatible libraries in the wpilibj. I am doing this outside of eclipse to make sure I can control the build environment.

Has anyone been successful in compiling this under a windows box? If so could you provide any hints on how you did it?

Thanks

I ran it under windows doing the steps manually. Here's how:

Make sure you have the 32 bit jvm and jdk on your machine. Also, make sure your PATH variable points to the a 32 bit java 8 jdk/jre. To check run "java -d64 -version" and you should see an error that 64 bit is unsupported. Also run "javac -d64 -version" and you should get the same error message.

Download the three repositories (FakeWPILib, FRC-2015, Sim-FRC-2015) using the download zip option from the github page. Unzip them all to the same folder.

In FakeWPILib/src/edu/..../Solenoid.java, edit the constructor so it looks like the code below

public Solenoid(final int moduleNumber, final int channel) {
        m_channel = channel;
        initSolenoid((moduleNumber * 7) + channel);
    }

In FRC-2015/src/com/team254/util/lib/MultiLooper.java, edit the constructor so it looks like the code below

public MultiLooper(String name, double period, boolean use_notifier) {
        if (use_notifier) {
            looper = new Looper(name, this, period);
        } else {
            looper = new Looper(name, this, period);
        }
    }

Open a command prompt window, and go to the FRC-2015 directory.
Run 'ant jar'
Make sure you see BUILD SUCCEEDED

Go to the FakeWPILib directory, and run ant jar
Make sure you see BUILD SUCCEEDED

Copy FakeWPILib/dist/FakeWPILib.jar to Sim-FRC-2015/lib/
Copy FRC-2015/dist/FRCUserProgram.jar to Sim-FRC-2015/lib/

Go to the Sim-FRC-2015
run ant compile

Delete Sim-FRC-2015/tmp if it exists
Copy FRC-2015/dist/FRCUserProgram.jar to Sim-FRC-2015/tmp (create tmp folder)

Create folder classes in tmp
Open command prompt window in classes, run 'jar -xf ../FRCUserProgram.jar

copy contents of FakeWPILib/bin/ to Sim-FRC-2015/tmp/classes, don't use command prompt for this, and be sure to merge folders and overwrite without rename when there are conflicts

copy contents of Sim-FRC-2015/bin/ to Sim-FRC-2015/tmp/classes, same way as before

open a command prompt window in Sim-FRC-2015/tmp
run 'jar -cmvf classes/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to_sim.jar -C classes .'

to run simulation, run 'java -jar to_sim.jar'

If you get an error, post it here, and I can probably help.
