Hello everyone!

I am new to bigbluebutton developement.I am struggling to set up the bigbluebutton 0.81 developing environment (client)

I got following  error when running  "ant locales"

Buildfile: build.xml

 I have cloned the project from github successfully.Bigbluebutton server is also running fine.

Any  help is highly appreciated!

Could you paste the output of "ls -la ~/dev/tools/flex/frameworks/libs/".

And then also try these commands again:

mkdir -p ~/dev/tools/flex-4.5.0.20967
unzip flex_sdk_4.5.0.20967_mpl.zip -d flex-4.5.0.20967

The Flex SDK is now unzipped, but you need to modify the permissions to use the Flex tools.

sudo find ~/dev/tools/flex-4.5.0.20967 -type d -exec chmod o+rx '{}' \;
chmod 755 ~/dev/tools/flex-4.5.0.20967/bin/*
sudo chmod -R +r ~/dev/tools/flex-4.5.0.20967

Make sure you only use sudo where it says to. I suspect you're hitting a permission issue.

@Chad. Thanks for the reply and Sorry for my late response.

My Problem got Solved !  I just deleted flex-4.5.0.20967 directory and followed your instructions.

It works for me.

May be there was a permmission problem.

Now when i load my bigbluebutton client it loads successfully but it displays a message-box 

"You may have an old language transtions of bigbluebutton". When i click ok, it redirects me to home page of bigblurbutton.

 I have cleared brower cache.But message still showing.

The locales all have a version associated with them as seen here, https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/master/bigbluebutton-client/locale/en_US/bbbResources.properties#L1. The config.xml file also has a version number as seen here, https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/master/bigbluebutton-client/resources/config.xml.template#L3. When the client loads it checks to see if those two values are the same and displays the warning message if they don't match.

If you check a locale and the version number shows 0.9.0 then you are building off of the master branch and the client won't connect to your server. The solution is to make sure you check out the same branch that is talked about in this documentation, https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/Developing#Checking_out_the_Source. If your server is 0.81 then you want to build either the "v0.81-release" branch or a branch based off of that one.
