He wrote his own presentation software. I'd like to get my hands on a copy.

http://kenai.com/projects/huckster/. It's linked from the article.

doesn't look like there's a binary, just source. Still, shouldn't be that hard to build.

I love Keynote on the Mac, but I also love trying new software. I just tried to build it without success on Mac OS 10.6 using Ant 1.8.1. Any suggestions?

- I cloned the Mercurial repo (my first time with a VCS),

- I downloaded Ant [1], installed it [2], and successfully built a "Hello World" build.xml [3] (I have some experience in the command line),

- I ran

  ant -buildfile /Users/mattparcher/Huckster/build.xml

Producing:

  BUILD FAILED
  /Huckster/nbproject/build-impl.xml:351: The following error occurred while executing this line:
  /Huckster/nbproject/build-impl.xml:160: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Figure out where the compiler output goes?
