I'm attempting to build Ant 1.9.3 from the source distribution on Redhat Linux 5 using Oracle Java 1.7.0. It seems to build correctly but fails the post-build tests with this error message:
error: package org.junit does not exist. From my research, this seems to be a common issue in general with Ant. Here are the exact directions I followed (from this page http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#buildingant): "As of version 1.7.0 Ant has a hard dependency on JUnit. The fetch.xml build script will download JUnit automatically, but if you don't use this you must install it manually into lib/optional (download it from JUnit.org) if you are using a source distribution of Ant." Since I don't have an ant that works with fetch.xml, I went to JUnit.org as indicated in the instructions and downloaded junit.jar and copied the file to apache-ant-1.9.3/lib/optional. Given that the instructions for building Ant are incorrect, could you please post the correct instructions to your website so I could build the current version of Ant please? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
