Got it working after running bootstrap.sh. After that, the rest of your
commands worked. Thanks.
It would be really useful to point out to other naive folks like me that
bootstrap.sh should be run to build ant. I went with the build.xml,
which seemed logical to me. The INSTALL and README files contained no
helpful information and look like they're just the default files that
are distributed with ant.
Thanks,
Mark McKay

Hi,
I'm using cygwin as well. The below commands aren't working. I'm
also not sure what you're getting at here. There is no directory
named /bootstrap, and even if there was, how could I run programs in
it after I deleted it?

The required files are in lib folder (without Xalan). This is what I
just
ran (some commands are from Cygwin):
cd path-to-ant-svn
svn update
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk-full-path.....
set ANT_HOME=
rm -rf bootstrap
.\bootstrap
.\bootstrap\bin\ant -f fetch.xml
.\bootstrap\bin\ant dist

That didn't help much. Now I can no longer access Ant. When I try to
run build.bat, I get the following message:
$ build.bat
error: Missing required jar files.
The Ant tool is required. Download Ant from the following URL
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html and place the ant.jar
file in the lib/ directory.
Please download Xalan2 from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/
and place the following files in the lib/ directory:
xml-apis.jar
xalan.jar
xercesImpl.jar
Please download Xerces2 from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/
and place the following files in the lib/ directory:
xercesSamples.jar
If building ManekiNeko, James Clark's Jing Relax NG validator
is also required. Please download the Jar file distribution
from http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/jing.html and place
the following file in the lib/ directory:
jing.jar
I tried collcting all these jars, to no avail. When I try to download
the xalan.jar mentioned, the server responds with a Forbidden error.
This seems like a lot of work to just download the latest binary of the
beta. Is there some guide as to how to build ant 1.7? Or is it
already
built somewhere?
