Hi Sid Check out the "Building" section in this link - http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToRelease . Its pretty straight forward. If you choose to not remove the test targets expect the build to take upwards of 2 hours as it runs through all the unit tests.
Kind regards Steve Watt From: Siddu <siddu.s...@gmail.com> To: common-user@hadoop.apache.org Date: 11/12/2009 12:14 PM Subject: Building Hadoop from Source ?

Can someone please give me the steps or link to any pointers please Thanks in advance -- Regards, ~Sid~ I have never met a man so ignorant that i couldn't learn something from him
