Hello.
Can't seem to build avalon right now. I did the following:
$ svn update $ ant setup $ ant
and I get the output included in the attachment. I it looks like the
build
is having trouble with avalon-tools-magic. In fact, I can jump into avalon-logkit and run 'ant' there with no problems. I cannot do the
same by
jumping into avalon/tools or avalon/tools/magic.
Thoughts?
Ummm ....
C:\root\home\farra\dev\projects\apache\avalon\tools\magic\build.xml:6:
Property
value 'project.home' is not defined.
Could you do me a favor and try the following:
$ cd avalon\tools\magic $ ant -buildfile bootstrap.xml $ ant clean install
I.e. build magic without magic then build it again using magic. Then tell me what happens.
Hm. That seemed to work.
OK - I'm updating the bar file now and posting in the server (looks like it was not up-to-date).
Running normal 'ant' on 'avalon/' now.
So, what does the bootstrap do exactly?
The bootstrap.xml is an ant file that builds magic and installs the jar into ${user.home}/.ant/lib. This is needed if your planning of building magic from scratch. Once magic exists you can rebuild magic using magic.
Is this something that should end up in a README or FAQ?
It needs to go somewhere for people interested in building magic from scratch. Normally this is not required unless your into magic development - in which case its essential.
Cheers, Steve.
