Building Sharp

Building Sharp

Sharp uses gradle to build the source

First, cd to the directory of sharp, but not to the src folder
You can do this by running this on Linux's bash terminal:

cd /path/to/sharp

Or by typing cmd in Windows Explorer's address bar for Windows users

Then for Linux users do this:
$gradlew build
For Windows users do this:
C:/Users/(username)> gradlew.bat build

If you get an error saying Redirection detected from https to http. Protocol switch unsafe, not allowed.

Then manually download This file and then put it in <your home directory>/.gradle/gradleFx/sdks/<some number>/in. (Thanks Jonathan50)

if the error looks something like this:
