Hello, This is my first attempt at building ManifoldCF, the experience is a little painful at present, I am trying to build a 0.6 from source with Oracle drivers. I followed the instructions here http://manifoldcf.apache.org/release/trunk/en_US/how-to-build-and-deploy.html
Initially I copied lib binaries from example/lib in apache-manifoldcf-0.6 binary distribution. Am I overlaying the wrong lib directory? On my first attempt to build, the build failed (despite the build successful message) with the stdout "Overlay -lib package, or run 'make-core-deps' target first", the build created dist directory and empty directories for example etc. This is misleading, could the build fail instead of passing? I narrowed build failure down to missing fop.jar, I downloaded this and reran the build this time it failed with "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlCoreTLV" At this point I tried downloading jstl.jar and added this, reran build which failed with the same message. Instead of downloading each dependency individually, I tried downloading dependencies by running make-core-deps, this failed on download-xerces step, commented this out and re ran, this time it failed on download-commons (svn patch is absent on version < 1.7), commented this out and re-ran, this finally ran successfully. Is there a easier way to build from source with all dependencies? Cheers, Nigel Thomas Web Services Group IT Services e: [email protected] t: 3808
