Hi,
I am trying to build Tomcat 5.5 following the instructions on the page
on
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/building.html
I am running into problems with the main build.xml that is trying to
check out Tomcat source from the svn url
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/current/tc5.5.x
which does not exist anymore.
Yep. This is a side effect of changing things around to avoid externals.
I'll take a look at the doc and see if we mised anythgn that should have
been changed.
Yeah, trying to check out TC 3.3 to answer a question on the user list fails
as well. It looks like anything less than 6.0.x is a total CF.
after changing it to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc5.5.x/trunk
(or to a specific tag such as 5.5.26, for example) it still runs into
other problems further down the road. Apparently some of the dependent
components also changed its URLs where the build downloads from. So in
general the build is broken.
Is there another main build.xml somewhere else that will lead to a much
smoother build for this? Thanks.
Building from this URL works without problem for me.
Assuming you have checked out that URL and have changed directory to the
top of that checkout:
cd build
ant download
ant
Of course, if you had showed us the error message you were getting we'd
be able to provide more specific advice.
