I've received no replies to this, so let me try again with a little more information. Previous versions of build.sh (or build.bat) contained this sequence:
LOCALCLASSPATH=lib/xercesImpl.jar:lib/xml-apis.jar:bootstrap/lib/ant.jar # add in the dependency .jar files DIRLIBS=lib/optional/*.jar for i in ${DIRLIBS} do if [ "$i" != "${DIRLIBS}" ] ; then LOCALCLASSPATH=$LOCALCLASSPATH:"$i" fi done In the current version, it is like this: LOCALCLASSPATH= # add in the dependency .jar files DIRLIBS=lib/optional/*.jar for i in ${DIRLIBS} do if [ "$i" != "${DIRLIBS}" ] ; then LOCALCLASSPATH=$LOCALCLASSPATH:"$i" fi done The difference is that LOCALCLASSPATH is no longer being preset with xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar before the optional directory is scanned. The absence of these jars from the classpath was what led to the failures below. Getting them onto the classpath solved the problem. But is this a bug? Or is it an undocumented requirement that ant be built in an environment that has these or other such jars on the classpath? Or is it a documented requirement and I've just been unable to find the documentation? -----Original Message----- From: Steve Cohen Sent: Sat 8/30/2003 5:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: can't build. This is my first attempt to build ant in awhile. I downloaded a completely fresh source tree from cvs, made a couple of extremely minor changes, and then tried to build with build.sh. The bootstrap build successfully completes, but then when the main build starts, I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/ant]$ ./build.sh -Ddist.dir=dist dist ANT_HOME=bootstrap Buildfile: build.xml BUILD FAILED XML parser factory has not been configured correctly: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl I don't understand this. My ant/lib directory contains (from the download) 927669 8-01-2003 1:45a -rw-rw-r-- /home/scohen/ant/lib/xercesImpl.jar 108484 6-01-2002 7:26a -rw-rw-r-- /home/scohen/ant/lib/xml-apis.jar What am I missing? I've never needed anything else to build ant. Has something changed in the build procedure? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
