Hi Chuck, thanks for the quick response.
Sorry for my misapprehension of the essence of a JVM and the so called bytecode. But in reality I have so far never seen such a thing as a Java "build once, run everywhere" come true. That's the reason for my silly question about some x86 bytecode. Ok, I went again to the apache site and selected the binary core of 5.5.15 from this URI (my previous mistake was to have gone for the sources which must have led me to the dubious subversion repository) http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi I hope the core stuff will suffice? Will it be executable by my Java interpreter? # java -version java version "1.5.0_06" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing) Do I simply have to untar the tarball into the Apache DocumentRoot? But I thought Tomcat was a Servlet Engine in its own right, not needing to be piggy-backed on an Apache webserver? So the startup.sh after some environment fiddling in server.xml (or elsewhere) should start that beast? # tar ztf /opt/iso/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15.tar.gz |head apache-tomcat-5.5.15/bin/catalina.sh apache-tomcat-5.5.15/bin/digest.sh apache-tomcat-5.5.15/bin/setclasspath.sh apache-tomcat-5.5.15/bin/shutdown.sh apache-tomcat-5.5.15/bin/startup.sh apache-tomcat-5.5.15/bin/tool-wrapper.sh apache-tomcat-5.5.15/conf/ apache-tomcat-5.5.15/conf/Catalina/ apache-tomcat-5.5.15/conf/Catalina/localhost/ apache-tomcat-5.5.15/conf/Catalina/localhost/host-manager.xml > -----Original Message----- > From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 4:20 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Need tomcat build for Fedora 3 on x86 > > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Need tomcat build for Fedora 3 on x86 > > > > I didn't manage the vanilla Tomcat installation (should you be > > interested to know why read below) > > Except that wasn't a "vanilla" Tomcat installation you > attempted, since > it came from 3rd party, not a real Tomcat download. > > > Therefore I would like to ask you the Tomcat Gurus, > > how to do a Tomcat build and installation from the Java sources > > (into x86 bytecode?). > > You don't need to build Tomcat (other than the optional APR connector) > for any platform.
