Cross Platform Build

[chafey]

The build system is currently Microsoft specific and also requires a JRE to be installed for the google closure compiler. These dependencies limit who can use it and also make it difficult to get started. There is a lot of momentum behind using Grunt (which depends on Node.js) to do Javascript builds now because it runs everywhere and has a great package management system to install dependencies. Moving to grunt would reduce your dependencies to just Node.js (which many people already have) and give you cross platform. I would be happy to explain how this works if you like and even do the work

Yep, I've been using Grunt a lot for subsequent projects. I definitely need to revisit this when I get an opportunity.

Would you accept a pull request if I did the work?

Yep, go for it!

Have you look at Gulp?

http://gulpjs.com

Have been thinking that I'll probably use that from now on. I prefer their 'code over config' approach.

I have not used gulp before but am always interested in new cool things.
I'll use this project to learn it.
