Re: [Jmol-developers] build failed

[René Kanters]

Hi Nico, running only the check-executables from build-i18n, with -v I get ( using the original xml file from the repository) the results below. When using -debug I get a lot longer output for which the only seemingly important part that is new may be the line: Loaded from /Users/rkanters/Projects/Eclipse/Jmol/jars/ant-contrib.jar net/sf/antcontrib/platform/ShellScriptTask.class Here is the -v output...

I did some additional testing myself. I added the external program /usr/bin/ant (my default commanline ant) to the external Tools. This has the same problems, still, as the 1.6.5 built-in. So it looks like Eclipse does not pass my path to either...

From what  he wrote and the test he suggested, it looks like the problem stems  from Eclipse. I just retrieve the original build files from CVS, and ant (my  version in OS X is 1.6.2) works with the original CVS build-i18n.xml  file. It is just Eclipse that doesn't seem to know my path. Since you  are the Eclipse guru, maybe you know where I may have a setting wrong  there... Could you try running Ant from Eclipse with the flag -debug or -v (remove the -Dgettext_path) and send me the output of build-i18n.xml ? Yesterday, I had a look at the source code for the <exec> task in Ant. It's quite a mess and highly dependent on the OS. It appears that it's not always directly running xgettext, but maybe trying to run it through ${ant.home}/bin/antRun. With the log output, it will tell us which method Ant is trying to use. When you're running Jmol, you should get a line concerning os.name in the output. What result do you get ? I have: os.name:Windows 2000 Depending on this value, Ant will use different methods in the <exec> task The -Dgettext_path=/usr/local/bin/ method you suggest with the  modification in the build-i18n.xml file does indeed work. So I could upload this modification to the xml file, but on the other  hand, I feel like Eclipse should be able to do the right thing from  the get go (without having to change things that do work for other  people). I assume that your install of eclipse id not giving you these  problems, so it may be just me... I agree, this modification is only a last solution if we can't find a better one. (On the other hand, this modification can also be useful for systems having gettext tools but not in the path). I don't think it's your install, it's probably more a problem with Eclipse under OS X, I hope we can tell with the logs.
