Hi all,

Thanks to the valuable discussions on this list I was able to successfully
build Harmony on Ubuntu 7.10 in less than a day. Below are some of my
experiences.

1. Requirement of ant-optional

is this one really necessary? I do not have it installed and see no
problem on Ubuntu 6, did not try on 7-10 yet. What is the error
message?

2. Requirement of setting ANT_OPTS even on Ubuntu
3. Xerces distribution at given download target is faulty
4. Need to separately checkout log4cxx
5. Need to install package libxtst-dev

updated it on the website, in prerequisites, expect the update to take
effect soon.

everyone: I think, it is nice to put the link to DevConfiguration
howtos from the Getting Started For Contributors [1]. Or move the wiki
to separate page(s). What is better?

Add a link to the wiki from [1] -- it's better that everyone can easily contribute to that body of knowledge.

Regards,
Tim

Also, some methods discussed on the list weren't required (ex:- soft links
for libXtst). In addition to that I noticed a number of warnings when
building C/C++ source.

Thanks,
Senaka
