My desktop machine is now a Fedora 10 machine, and I've been having a bit of an issue with installing ant-contrib.jar.
Normally, you simply install the ant-contrib.jar inside the $ANT_HOME/lib, and everything is fine. However, that doesn't work on my machine unless I explicitly turn off rpm_mode. And, in order for that to work, I had to install the Ant version directly from ant.apache.org instead of relying on Fedora's packaging mechanism. How do I install the ant-contrib package on a Fedora machine? How does Ant find the various jar files it needs when it is in rpm_mode? Right now, I had to: 1). Move /usr/share/ant to /usr/share/ant.orig 2). Install a new version of ant in /usr/share/ant 3). Move /usr/bin/ant to /usr/bin/ant.orig 4). Make a symbolic link from /usr/share/ant/bin/ant to /usr/share/ant 5). Modify /etc/ant.conf to set rpm_mode to false. Doing this makes it impossible for my package manager to update Ant when a newer version comes out. What should I have done in order to get Ant to work with Ant-Contrib? -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
