How to build

Prerequisites

• C++ Compiler: Visual Studio 2019 / 2022 (MSVC with C++17 support)
• CMake: Version 3.15 or newer
• Java Development Kit:
  • JDK 17: Required by Gradle to compile SlinkyClient
  • JDK 8: Runtime environment for Minecraft 1.8.9

---

1. Building the Loader (Slinky.exe & SlinkyNative.dll)

The loader and native injector DLL are configured as a unified CMake project:

cmake -B build -A x64

cmake --build build --config Release

Output binaries will be placed in build/bin/Release/:

• Slinky.exe
• SlinkyNative.dll

---

2. Building the Client (SlinkyClient)

The client is a standalone Gradle project using Unimined to resolve Minecraft 1.8.9 dependencies and MCP mappings automatically:

cd SlinkyClient

$env:JAVA_HOME = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17"

.\gradlew.bat clean build

Generated SlinkyClient/build/libs/:

• Slinky-0.5.0-settings.jar
• Slinky-0.5.0-settings-sources.jar
