Doug Cutting updated HADOOP-6295:
---------------------------------
Component/s: native
I agree that releases should be buildable when unpacked: if they're not, that
should be a blocking bug.
However I do not see that we need Ant-independent builds. We currently require
Ant to build Hadoop. So this part does not seem like a bug. Changing things
so that the native code can be built without Ant would be a new feature that we
should discuss separately from making sure that native sources in release
tarballs are buildable. Does that make sense?
> Build process from tarball is flawed

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: native
> Reporter: Allen Wittenauer
>
> Currently, the natively compiled components have a requirement of building
> from within ant. To make matters worse, after talking this over with Lee, it
> appears that the ant build assumes to be executed from a svn-checkout and not
> from the tarballs that are generated. We need to
> a) start packaging up the svn repo trees as src tarballs
> b) separate out the compiled bits out from underneath ant completely
> c) be able to create real builds from the tarball
> As an admin, I shouldn't have to reach for svn to make Hadoop work optimally
> on non-Linux.
