Re: Can't build fop: Hangs after Starting Ant...
Hi Gregor, If you are still stuck, I have a few more ideas of things to try. ./build.sh -version Ant should print out its version number (I get: Ant version 1.3 compiled on March 2 2001) If you still get nothing, try running ant from the command line directly (from the same directory where you have your build.sh) : java -classpath lib/ant.jar org.apache.tools.ant.Main -version and see if you get anything. If the second works and the first doesn't, there's something amiss with your build.sh file. Perhaps you could attach it to your next mail. I tend to think the problem is in your build.sh and not your build.xml. If you get ant to print its version number, then at least it is starting up. In that case, try using the -verbose switch which should print out lots of stuff, starting with the version, the build file name, the java version, the OS Good luck, Karen Gregor N.

Re: Can't build fop: Hangs after Starting Ant...
Arved -- Thanks for the reply. Could it be a line-ending issue? This has bitten us a few times, depending on what machine a committer was on when they committed UNIX shell scripts, and if they weren't careful. I did it a time or two myself, committing the shell scripts with DOS line endings. build.sh appears to be in proper *nix format. Failing that, what happens when you set the environment variables by hand, and then execute the final command by itself, not through the script...still no joy? No joy. Can you run your current Ant on other build files? I don't use Ant for anything else. What version of Ant are you using? Try Ant 1.3 if all else fails. I just installed the 1.3-2 RPMs for Ant from jakarta.apache.org, but it seems to me from build.sh that a private version of ant.jar is used... -- Regards, -- Gregor _ / \ Gregor N.
