Ok, I'm frustrated too. The Quick Start instructions in the Wiki (BuildingMahout) say only to run "mvn install" from the checked-out directory. They say nothing about adding -Prelease, but even adding that to the top-level "mvn install -Prelease" does not produce a build with a bin directory. And, there is no bin directory in distribution/target directory either. It should not be this difficult.
If the procedure detailed in the wiki does not produce a bin directory at $MAHOUT_HOME, then all of the examples which refer to $MAHOUT_HOME/bin/mahout ... will fail too. -----Original Message----- From: Benson Margulies [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2010 3:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VOTE] 0.4 take 2 If you build with -Prelease, you should find the bin directory hiding down in distribution/target. I can't easily imagine how it would fail to work for you.
