I tried for the first time to build the logkit, avalon, and excalibur
projects last night and struck 2 problems. Now it might be that my machine
is set up incorrectly but here goes.
The first was in Build.bat and the problem centred around the code:
if exist "%BASE%\tools\bin\ant.bat" set LOCAL_AVALON_TOOLS=tools
if exist "%BASE%\..\jakarta-avalon\tools\bin\ant.bat" set
LOCAL_AVALON_TOOLS=%BASE%\..\jakarta-avalon\tools
if exist "%BASE%\..\..\jakarta-avalon\tools\bin\ant.bat" set
LOCAL_AVALON_TOOLS=%BASE%\..\..\jakarta-avalon\tools
The problem I encountered was that the ..\..\ when executed from 1
directory down on a drive still works. My jakarta-avalon directory was a
folder directly under the drive. So from \avalon-logkit\ (?) it could find
\..\jakarta-avalon and \..\..\jakarta-avalon. But it set the relative path
on the directory to an invalid directory which throws a problem in the
actual ant.bat / ant task. My fix was to set the AVALON_TOOLS CMD variable
but you could reverse the order ot the 3 "if exist" clauses thus (which
should work):
if exist "%BASE%\..\..\jakarta-avalon\tools\bin\ant.bat" set
LOCAL_AVALON_TOOLS=%BASE%\..\..\jakarta-avalon\tools
if exist "%BASE%\..\jakarta-avalon\tools\bin\ant.bat" set
LOCAL_AVALON_TOOLS=%BASE%\..\jakarta-avalon\tools
if exist "%BASE%\tools\bin\ant.bat" set LOCAL_AVALON_TOOLS=tools
The second problem was in ant.bat. My JDK is under "program files" (note
the space). But when it executes the following code:
:runAnt
%_JAVACMD% -classpath %LOCALCLASSPATH% -Dant.home="%ANT_HOME%" %ANT_OPTS%
org.apache.tools.ant.Main %ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS%
goto end
:runAntWithJikes
%_JAVACMD% -classpath %LOCALCLASSPATH% -Dant.home="%ANT_HOME%"
-Djikes.class.path=%JIKESPATH% %ANT_OPTS% org.apache.tools.ant.Main
%ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS%
It cannot parse the java command pat. I fixed this by placing quotes around
it like this "%_JAVACMD%"
Not sure how these changes will stand up on anyAny comments on my patches?
Apart from this, the compiles went smoothly. Never having seen or used ant,
I am impressed with the scripts and how well it really went.
Thanks to all concerned!
