Building
These following tools are required to build the GRF:
- nmlc
- python
Using bash is suggested, but powershell also works.
Note: git on Windows provides a bash environment.
This GRF could be built on multiple platforms; however, if you are on Windows, please change the end of line sequence from CRLF to LF. You could only change JPPlusShinkansen.nml without changing the other files, and it would still work.
