All,
I just got the most recent trunk for 6.0.x and I'm having trouble
compiling it.
First, I just tried "ant compile" and I got this message:
"
BUILD FAILED
/home/.../apache-tomcat-6.0.x/trunk/build.xml:149: destination directory
"/home/.../apache-tomcat-6.0.x/trunk/output/classes" does not exist or
is not a directory
"
That's pretty obvious how to fix that, but it would be nice if the build
was capable of making its own directories. :)
After creating that directory, I tried again:
$ ant compile
[...]

Hmm... time to read BUILDING.txt:
"

Okay:
$ ant download
Buildfile: /home/.../apache-tomcat-6.0.x/trunk/build.xml

I need root access to build Tomcat? Boo.
I know my way around ant, so let's see. If I re-define "base.path" to
be, say, "./downloads", I should be good to go:
$ ant -Dbase.path=/home/.../apache-tomcat-6.0.x/trunk/downloads download
[works!]
Then,
$ ant -Dbase.path=/home/.../apache-tomcat-6.0.x/trunk/downloads compile
[works!]
So, I have a couple of questions/gripes:
1. Why does "compile" not know how to create it's own destination directory?
2. Why doesn't "base.path" default to something /inside/ the working
copy of the code? I realize that sharing a whole bunch of these
dependencies is a great thing when you're working with a lot of
projects, but I'm guessing that most people frequently working on Tomcat
know how to configure the build to share these deps, and that most other
people have no idea what is going on.
Can we change these two things?
I haven't tried Tomcat 7.0.x, but Mark said at some point that the build
has been (further) simplified, so I'm hoping it will be better.
Thanks,
