I never had tried to build Ant on Solaris - because I have no such system ;-) So these are my opinions: - Ant should be buildable on Solaris too - Ant requires Java 1.4+ - Ant does not require any external libs for building - if not present it skips these classes/jars
So - download the sources - hava a JDK 1.4+ on your PATH (or the Solaris equivalent ;-) - place the external jars in your ANT_SOURCES/lib directory - open a shell in your ANT_SOURCES directory (the dir where Ants buildfile is) - start "build dist" This uses the "build.sh" wrapper which - starts "bootstrap.sh" for compiling the most required Ant classes directly via javac - builds a distribution using these compiled classes Jan >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: J.
