Ant is actually a Java application and will run on ANY system that runs Java.
The "ant" command itself is a shell script that runs the Ant java program under your Java interpreter. A ant.bat script does the same thing for Windows. The output of the command you show is the output of the "java -version" command. Try running "ant --execdebug -version" and see what you get as output. It should look something like this: exec "/usr/bin/java" -classpath "/usr/share/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar" -Dant.home="/usr/share/ant" -Dant.library.dir="/usr/share/ant/lib" org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -cp "" "-version" Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008 On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 12:19 PM, meher03 <mehe...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Qs: Will Ant 1.7.1 binary downloaded from the Apache ant website work on > linux box. > > I did a uname -a on the linux box to get its info > > Linux dalesb 2.6.9-78.ELxenU #1 SMP Wed Jul 9 16:21:57 EDT 2008 x86_64 > x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > > The reason I am asking is because, i installed ant in the linux box in > /app/ant > > Then cd to /app/ant/bin and ran the command ./ant -version > > The following is the output : > dalesbdev03::/app/ant/bin-> ./ant -version > java version "1.4.2" > gcj (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-10) > Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
