(I'm new here, and new to Jakarta, so apologies if it's the wrong place). Been trying to install Tomcat on a fresh install of debian testing/sarge. I hit one problem that I eventually found a fix for in the bugs database, and I guess essentially I'm suggesting it might be worth either patching into cvs, or at least updating the docs about this specific bug.
But I don't really know how to do either, so I'm hoping someone can either help or point me in a better direction. I hit this bug (marked as re-opened) http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31017 It points at some documentation on this bug here http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon/faq.html As it turns out, I resolved the problem ONLY by adding the line AC_PREREQ(2.53) to the top of ~/jakarta-tomcat-5/build/bin/jsvc-src/configure.in as suggested at the bottom of the bug report. Namely, I didn't have to upgrade autoconf, I just added the above line and re-tried, and this time it worked. Thus, I'm wondering if there are down-sides (to other people/platforms) to adding that line into configure.in in cvs, or if there are - then updating the docs with a note about this?. If someone can point me at the process/list/cvs location I'll happily submit the patch. For the record, the setup/install I was using: - Installed Debian stable (woody). Fairly minimal install - tweaked apt/sources.list to use Debian testing/sarge; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade - Installed from source / by hand -- apache 2.0.52 -- apache's ant 1.6.2 -- Sun's JDK 5.0, following 11.2 in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ch11.html - Installed Tomcat 5.5 from source folllowing http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/building.html - Followed (unix) setup instructions at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/setup.html It was while trying to run autoconf line that it burped. Fix'd as defined above. All good and running now. Just need to figure out how to start/stop it using jsvc :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
