Hi there

Don't know the priority of this bug, since the project seem to be leaning
towards moving the build environment towards using ant, but this has a
quick fix, so I'll report it anyway.

I downloaded the trunk source from svn, changed directory to
processing/build/linux, but got a lot of error messages from the java
compiler when running ./make.sh. It seemed like it was trying to write a
package to a non-existing directory. After i did a "mkdir ../../core/bin"
the compilation went through.

Here is two alternative fixes that should solve the problem by creating a
empty bin-directory in the core-directory:
Alt. 1. svn mkdir svn://processing.org/trunk/processing/core/bin/

Alt. 2. add "mkdir -p bin" after line 66 ("cd core") in
svn://processing.org/trunk/processing/build/linux/make.sh. The -p is to
avoid complaining from the mkdir command, should the directory already exist.

Cheers,
Jonas

thanks for the report, i've just fixed it in the svn. that was lost in the
recent reworking of the build scripts.
