Well, that was fun . . . I've never built this on a Windows platform before. 1. Downloaded a copy of the source in zip format 2. Unpacked it 3. Copied build.properties.default to build.properties 4. Edited build.properties a. aimed the download repo area to something sensible C:\Users\mdeggers\src\tc7-repo b. Added the following lines so I wouldn't build the Windows installer # right after base.path # skipping windows installer skip.installer=true 5. Opened up a command window and changed to the proper directory 6. ant release This took a little over 4 minutes running on a 3.2 GHz core duo with 6 GB memory and Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm using JDK 1.6.0_32 and Ant 1.8.3. I've not customized my Ant yet (with JUnit and XMLTask). Worked fine for me. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
