Open Spades compiling from source - Failed to load main.as

I've been working on compiling this game from source for a while now...and I've got to tell you, the "guide" on git is absolutely atrocious. I've had to jump through several very small hoops to get where I am, and now I'm thoroughly stumped.
The game loads and then crashes, producing the "failed to load '/Main.as'" error. It seems that the code that raises the error "ScriptManager.cpp", is assuming a Linux style file system(as windows directories are denoted with a \, not a /). I tried changing some things to get it to use Windows style notation, but it still didn't work. I've tried several things, but I need someone more knowledgeable about the game to help me. Just ask me for info and I will provide it.
Thanks.

Figured it out, I needed to put the Resources folder in the exe folder, for some reason. Just in case anyone else needs this in the future.

Oh thanks I have the same problem and don't have to search BnS now. As a side note, the "linux style" notation is part of POSIX (it has to be, doesn't it?), therefore supported/parsed by Windows, so don't change it.

Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't do it. This was actually the first time I tried to compile someone else's project so I'm in way over my head here. What folder is named the exe folder? Or are you referring to something else?

Basically don't attempt this unless you have programming knowledge, I can't hold everyone's hand. It took me several hours straight of researching and trial and error to get it to work, so expect the same, much more if you don't know C++.
