Step-by-Step tutorial how-to build the compiler from sources

[alaendle]

Hi, it's really hard for a newbie to get started here - for me it seems that the build scripts heavily depend on your own environment and that there is a lot of knowledge needed which could only be inferred from the build scripts - a very painful way :-( I'll guess that most information is already there - but just some missing pieces make it hard for new developers to get up to speed on your project - which is a pity since I believe that Scala could have the same success on the .net platform. So what is missing here is a simple step-by-step tutorial showing what needs to be done to build a scala compiler for .net from source. To get me right, I still believe that this isn't too complicated - but since this is quite unclear, it might stop developers from playing around with you code - and some couldn't contribute to the project later. Br, Andreas.

Now I have found: http://lampwww.epfl.ch/~magarcia/ScalaNET/2011Q2/BootstrapDIY.pdf And I just played around with the binary release and recompiled the compiler - this seems to work fine :-) Anyway it would be nice to have a newer binary release with latest IKVM verision available.
