I have been trying to get fink to build ant with the so-called "optional"
jars. Unless the ant build process (where ant builds itself) finds the
required 3rd party jars in a specific place, the corresponding ant-*.jar is
generated with just a MANIFEST and nothing else.
So, for example, if you want to use <scp> in your ant script, you need to
have ant-jsch.jar in lib. By default, fink builds ant-jsch.jar containing
nothing but a MANIFEST. Even if I have jsch-0.1.20.jar (the required, 3rd
party jar for ant-jsch.jar) on my classpath when I invoke fink, the ant
bootstrap doesn't find it and builds a MANIFEST-only jar.
I can revert to using Apple's older ant, but I'd rather say current.
I suspect that if I can only get fink to download the binary distro (rather
than source) I will get all the ant-*.jar in $ANT_HOME/lib. Is that true?
And how do I tell fink to throw away the deb (and whatever) it has and
download a fresh binary distro? I tried
fink remove ant
fink -b fetch ant
fink -b install
I'd rather solve the problem by having fink build ant from source properly.
Any hints, anyone?
Thanks
