Problems with open-xchange-gui

[genielog]

Ok, I fixed my problem by using the core installation of Ant 1.7 available on the official website of Apache. No need for the extensions.

But I have a new problem. The msgcat application that is part of the gettext package is not available on my SuSE 10.1 version. Seems that is was part of the distribution in SuSE 9.3 but it disapeared in the 10.1 !

I'm still trying to find a old version of that package for open-xchange to compile.

I had the feeling that your compilation tool chain is too much dependant on extra and unidentified libs / tools...

[Viktor Pracht]

msgcat is part of the standard GNU gettext download. Sorry, if your distribution forgot / chose to not include part of the package.

Our 'compilation chain' is based on Debian/Ubuntu packages. (And there, ant-optional is even installed by default when ant is installed.)

[Martin Heiland]

As mentioned in the installation manual the guide is primary for debian systems. Open-Xchange has no influence on what the different distributors package their system with
Well, there are many dependencies, but i managed it without bigger problems on ubuntu 6.06 LTS. OK, to be fair - i sit next to the developers and know the product "a bit" but i installed a proper system according to the guide, even if finding all dependencies was somewhat time consuming

[genielog]

I can understand that developping an application for multiple plateforms is definitely a hard task. In fact, I'm doing such a work for my own application for Linux / Windows.

By the way, the only way I found to tackle this problem is to compile / install / use the application on several platforms and make startegic decision on using or not that pretty tool that can broke my compilation tool chain on another system.

Anyway, that's anotehr topic I can imagine. The solution for SuSE user here is to install the gettext-devel package which contains the extra msgcat prgm.

The livegrid.css error seems to have returned, and another glitch has presented itself. I've installed all the ant-packages that I could find (this time under Gentoo), so I haven't got a clue where it relates to...

Removing the space in build.xml for livegrid didn't fix it by the way.

[RedNalie]

I'm slowly beginning to think it's an error in the build.xsl and not in my tools. Can anyone verify this?

[Martin Heiland]

Well. i built the gui without a single problem on a ubuntu 6.06 system using the same cvs source.

I'm performing various Installations on Debian Etch and can not reproduce this problem, too.

@RedNalie
You're using saxon8-9-0-2j as mentioned I hope?
All other .jars have the Versionnumbers mentioned in wiki, too?

All Jars are checked

The thing is, I did a proper installation on an Ubuntu distro as well, but I can't seem to get it work with Gentoo at this point. Is this stage in the process pure depending on the .jars or are other tools required too (I have the ant optional stuff installed)? I haven't got a clue which tool is responsible for this part, so I'm not sure where to look for versioning info (which may be different for Ubuntu/Gentoo).

[Daniel Halbe]

Hmm, no idea because I'm no developer. Perhaps the developers can help you tomorrow.

But it would be fantastic if you could write a short documentation when you have the ox running - which ebuilds you installed, the use flags and the configs. Fast done for you but will speed up the work of all other Gentoo Users

If everything works I might even write an ebuild for the entire proces (first have to learn how though ). I will certainly document things for others when I get this to work.

I found out the same problem under Fedora Core and solved it removing the xalan-j2 jars from the classpath (on Fedora just move the /usr/share/java/xalan-j2* files to somewhere else when you are compiling).

Not sure about Gentoo, but it worked for me.

Allmost there ...

On my system Centos 4.3 I have successfully compiled open-xchange and open-xchange-admin, set db only I need to do is compile the gui, but im not able to do that, im using ant ant-optional 1.5-2.5, the error msg is get is as follow

Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
file:/home/OX6/open-xchange-gui/build.xml:61: The <filelist> data type doesn't support the nested "file" element.

That did it for me too, tnx .

Now all we need to find out is whether Xalan is required to build this stuff normally (cause according to what I found on Google that means the build.xsl is faulty).

I moved all the xalan files to another directory

Downloaded the latest ant from ant.apache.org to /tmp
extracted the files, tar zxvf ant-1.7.0.tar.gz
mv apache-ant-1.7.0 ant [renamed the directory ]
mv ant/ /usr/local/ [ moved the ant directory to /usr/local/ant ]
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant [ set the enviroment ]
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin [ set the new path to ant ]

then I compiled the open-xchange-gui as described in the guide


This worked for me, hope it could help others with the same problem


Tronn

PS Do I need the xalan files ?
