Problems building FOP snapshot

["Wegmann, Frank" <Fr...@softwareag.com>]

Hi folks,

actually I hate this subject line, but I couldn't figure out what's going
wrong when
building the latest snap from today, so please bear with me. In order to
prevent any
further annoying questions from my side: what versions of xerces/xalan are
suitable
for building FOP? I'm using JDK 1.3.


Here's the output (there is no CLASSPATH set; this is the value of
LOCALCLASSPATH):

Building with classpath

Could not create task of type: xslt because I can't find it in the list of
task class definitions

Re: Problems building FOP snapshot

This problem has been posted at lest 3 times in the last few days, 
and no real solution has been given. 
The xslt task cannot be found. this task is in subdir lib, but your 
classpath contains no pointer to it.
 
Could you add "lib" to your classpath and try again? 

Actually this should be a setting in build.bat, I don't understand why 
your settings are different. 

Here is the section from build.bat (I just checkout fop):
____________________________
set LOCALCLASSPATH = 
%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\classes.zip;lib\ant.
jar;lib\w3c.jar;lib

set ANT_HOME=.\lib

echo Building with classpath %LOCALCLASSPATH%
