Ant, An issue with this approach is that Axis2C requires a set of libraries that aren't Apache licenced (possibly they're GPL), which (I guess) is why Axis2C itself doesn't bundle them. Also, Linux systems vary hugely, some come with libxml2, zlib and iconv, some come with the wrong versions and some don't have them at all - it would be hard to manage all this complexity. It would be possible to bundle everything and then have scripts to alter/set the PATH, TUSCANY_SCA, TUSCANY_SDO and AXIS2C_HOME environment variables, but a) I'm not sure if the effort would be worth it, b) there may be these licensing issues and c) I personally feel that following some documented instructions is not that nasty and helps users get a better feel for what the system does and how to go further than just running the samples.
You're right that we should make trying Tuscany out as easy as possible & we should always keep this in mind (of course, at some point in the learning process the user has to read some documentation!) Cheers Andy On 7/12/06, ant elder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Do you think this new build of the release could include all the dependencies so I don't have to go workout what and where to download myself? This worked well in the java release, just download the binary,unzip, click on startup.bat and there it was running with all the samples installed and ready to go. ...ant On 7/9/06, Pete Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The reference to xmlTextReaderConstEncoding is from Axis2C.
