GURPS Character Sheet

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

NOTE: To build a specific version of GCS, you will need to check out the appropriate release tag. These directions are for the latest source, which may have experimental code or changes that are incompatible with the current data files. These build instructions may have also changed since a given release, so be sure to review them again with the version you plan to build.

1. Make sure you have JDK 15 installed and set to be used as your default Java compiler. You can download it for your platform here: http://jdk.java.net/15/

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

3. Clone the source repositories:

   % git clone https://github.com/richardwilkes/gcs
   

4. Build and bundle the code for your platform:

   macOS

   % cd gcs
   % ./bundle.sh
   

   Linux

   If you get a message similar to "Error: Invalid or unsupported type: [null]" in the application packaging step when trying to run this on Linux, your distribution likely does not have the debian packaging tools installed. You'll either need to install them, or use the --unpackaged option when running bundle.sh

   % cd gcs
   % ./bundle.sh
   

   Windows

   > cd gcs
   > .\bundle.bat
