First time building tomcat ( in a while.)   I was following this page,
       http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/building.html

since it recommends ant 1.5, perhaps ant 1.6 has some incompatible changes....

This is also in the stack,
   [style] DEPRECATED - xalan processor is deprecated. Use trax instead.
   [style] DEPRECATED - xslp processor is deprecated. Use trax instead.
[style] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.XslpLiaison


I'm focused on 5.0 since 1.4 is what our project runs... but perhaps 5.5 with the compatiblity libs would be a better target if I can get it building.

Cheers

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.

Hi! I just tried to compile Tomcat on my Fedora 4 box w/o happiness. (using the network download build.xml, jdk1.4_09 and tried jdk5)

$ ant
...
BUILD FAILED
/home/bob/Desktop/t2/build.xml:50: The following error occurred while
executing this line:
/home/bob/Desktop/t2/jakarta-tomcat-5/build.xml:796: The following error
occurred while executing this line:
/home/bob/Desktop/t2/jakarta-tomcat-catalina/webapps/docs/build.xml:84: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.TraXLiaison

Before I start digging more, does this ring bells?


Thanks!
