Can't build without build.xml

[juliusspencer]

Hi,

I have followed the Installation instructions in the wiki but cannot build the cvs checked out project.

ant -Dlib.dir=/opt/open-xchange/lib install
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

open-xchange]# find . -name build.xml
./global/build.xml
./charset/build.xml
./server/build.xml

If I try to build on of these:

global]# ant -Dlib.dir=/opt/open-xchange/lib install
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 10 source files to /tmp/open-xchange/global/build
    [javac] /tmp/open-xchange/global/src/com/openexchange/groupware/AbstractOXException.java:63: package org.apache.commons.logging does not exist

Yet I have these:

activation.jar
commons-cli-1.0.jar
commons-codec-1.3.jar
commons-fileupload.jar
commons-io.jar
commons-logging-1.1.jar
commons-logging-adapters-1.1.jar
commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-logging-1.1.jar
concurrent.jar
jakarta-slide-webdavlib-2.1.jar
jcharset-1.3.jar
jcs-1.2.7.9.2.jar
jdom.jar
json.jar
junit-4.3.1.jar
mail.jar
mysql-connector-java-3.1.13-bin.jar
org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.2.ox.jar
saxon8.jar
servlet-api-2.4.jar
spring-beans.jar
spring-core.jar
tnef.jar

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Julius,

is that possible,that You use the HEAD-cvs?

In the moment it is not possible (maybe only for developpers) to use this cvs-branch for building.
One of the open-xchange developpers said this here in the forum.Because the sources are under heavely devellopping.Use the stable cvs-tree.I hope it helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I used:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.open-xchange.com:/cvsroot/ co open-xchange

Can you tell me how to get the stable release?

Thanks!

Hi Julius,

this is a posting from Marcus (developper of open-xchange).
He said the following:
'Hi,

if you check out the HEAD repository you'll find the build.xml at the server/ directory. Please note that there is no documentation how to build the HEAD right now, many changes are going on at the sourcecode and you should not rely on stability of the code.
If you need to compile and run a stable version, please check out the "bf_6_4" code by adding "-r bf_6_4" to the cvs checkout command.

For example:
Code:

cvs -dserver:anonymous@www.open-xchange.com:/cvsroot co -r bf_6_4 open-xchange

You need to do this for all repositories except:
json-jdk15
open-xchange-admin-console-ee
open-xchange-admin-gui-ee

those three repositories need to be checked out with "-r HEAD" as there is no bugfix branch for these.'

In the post,You will find the command to the STABLE-cvs.

Or look in the thread: Problem with OXInstaller.
There are some more details.

Good luck :-)

Thanks ole, that was it. Now I'm having other trouble building. Will open another thread though.

Hi Julius,

have a look in the community-installer script.There are some nice options to bulid hyperion with ant.Maybe with this script You have no errors.
