First time building it, I assume? I had problems as well. Hopefully this helps. ______________
Make sure you: download/unzip the source code from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi (this'll be in your ${tomcat-source} directory), install Subversion via http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html, and follow the directions at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/building.html, Also the ant build may fail when it gets to jasper because the unzipped code puts the necessary files in the .../jasper/jasper2 directory. Move the code up a directory or change the ant script at line 1419 of ${tomcat.source}/build/build.xml from 1418 <!-- tomcat jasper source --> 1419 <copy todir="${tomcat.dist}/src/${jasper.project}"> to 1418 <!-- tomcat jasper source --> 1419 <copy todir="${tomcat.dist}/src/${jasper.project}/jasper2"> I don't know the implications of this change versus moving the files.
