Answer 1

First, please make sure clone from https://github.com/pentaho/pentaho-platform

Copy file dev_build.xml to build.xml

And then run ant dev-resolve (please install ANT before)

The last thing: ant dev-build

That's all!

EDIT

Pentaho BI after build is in that folder: assembly/bin/stage/biserver-ce

Depending on your version etc. ( and surrounding pages )

Answer 3

You'll need to run ant in order to build and resolve dependencies.

From the pentaho-platform folder, run ant -f dev_build.xml dev-rebuild.
