Hi, Thanks Conor for the hint. Finally I found the tar ball "jakarta-ant-1.5.1-src.tar.gz" I downloaded from http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/source is corrupted. A lot of file names have been truncated, for example:
ls -1 ./src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/depend/constantpool CVS/ ClassCPInfo.java ConstantCPInfo ConstantPool.j ConstantPoolEn DoubleCPInfo.j FieldRefCPInfo FloatCPInfo.ja IntegerCPInfo. InterfaceMetho LongCPInfo.jav MethodRefCPInf NameAndTypeCPI StringCPInfo.j Utf8CPInfo.jav I then downloaded the other source file "jakarta-ant-1.5.1-src.zip", and now I can run bootstrap.sh without problem. I'll try to build entire ant later. Thanks Conor. Jin ----------------------------------------------- Jin Zhou wrote: > Hi, > > So what's wrong with bootstrap? did I forget to do anything?
