What is really weird, is the build.xml defines the basedir as . in
<project name="Tomcat 5.0 Netbuild" default="build" basedir=".">
But changing
<exec dir="${basedir}" executable="svn">
<arg line="checkout ${svnroot}/${current.loc} ${basedir}"/>
</exec>
to
<exec dir="${basedir}" executable="svn">
<arg line="checkout ${svnroot}/${current.loc} ."/>
</exec>
fixed the problem on the svn grab. Now I've got more errors to deal with, but
at least I've solved one problem. Of course, this is not a good solution since
it destroys the ability to actually set the basedir in the project tag.
The only thing I can think of is if another ant process is overriding the
basedir value.
Weird.

I discovered the problem. For some odd reason, which I haven't yet figured
out, the svn call in the build.xml root
<exec dir="${basedir}" executable="svn">
<arg line="checkout ${svnroot}/${current.loc} ${basedir}"/>
</exec>
is not just putting the checkout in the basedir, it is checking them out into a
newly created directory current.loc. I do not understand why in the world it
is doing this... So, when it goes to run ant deploy on the build.xml in the
build folder, the build directory needs to be Tomcat\Tomcat-build\tc5.5.x\build
Like I said, it shouldn't be doing this, and this is not the behavior I get
when I run the command line svn checkout
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/current/tc5.5.x .
Making that call does NOT create the Tomcat\Tomcat-build\tc5.5.x\ directory
Anyone got any suggestions?

Here's what I do on Windows:
- Create a build directory, say "E:\tmp\Tomcat-build".
- Download http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/build.xml and put it in the
build directory created above.
- Optional: If you want to have the binary dependencies downloaded to, say
"E:\tmp\Tomcat-build\binary-libs", instead of "C:\usr\share\java" create a file
named build.properties in the build directory containing the line
base.path=E:/tmp/Tomcat-build/binary-libs
- In the console, change into the build directory and do ant
- If you see a message asking you to accept the certificate for the asf
repository (which you can't since svn is started by ant) do for example svn ls
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/build/tc5.5.x
and accept the certifacte permanently.
Run
ant
again. The Tomcat source and the binary libs should now be checked out and the
main part of the build process should also have run.
- Change into the build directory:
cd build
- If you changed the location where the binary libs are stored by creating a
build.properties file (see above), you'll also have to create a
build.properties file here, containing at least the same base.path line.
- Build Tomcat:
ant dist
Now, a directory called "dist" (E:\tmp\Tomcat-build\build\dist) should have
been created that contains a binary Tomcat release.
Doing
ant release
will create a directory containing all the source and binary archives like the
ones you can download from the Tomcat website.
