Are you trying to build master or the release tagged version? The documentation is for the release tagged version. Master is much farther along.
On master
Download : https://downloads.typesafe.com/typesafe-activator/1.3.6/typesafe-activator-1.3.6-minimal.zip Run : ~/Software/play-2.3.9/activator (will vary depending on where you extracted the contents).
Try the documentation on the wiki: https://github.com/tumblr/collins/wiki/Developing-Collins
I tried to build master. The tagged 1.3.0 works fine, perhaps the readme should state that it is intended for the tagged version and a link to https://github.com/tumblr/collins/wiki/Developing-Collins might help as well. As it is a newbie like me is put off :-(
Thanks for the quick response (on a Sunday!)
ah, I didn't use the README but the documentation at http://tumblr.github.io/collins/
We haven't done a historically good job of maintaining documentation. We are working towards improving it and also making the code (design, development) easier by documenting that on the wiki. The upcoming release (2.0) has some breaking changes and will be released as soon as we have completed the features for the release, these are (a) firehose (b) ipv6 support and (c) retire softlayer custom logic in favor of jclouds.
When we do the release, expect an update on the documentation.
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm hanging out on the collins irc channel and happy to answer any question on there for the next few hours.
To be more exact, we try to keep the documentation in line with the released version, not with the current master.
I wanted to build collins from scratch, but failed at the first step
