problems getting setup

Hi,

I am trying to update the cocoon website, following roughly the
instructions at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/CocoonWebsiteUpdate. I've
got forrest 0.6 installed, updated path and FORREST_HOME accordingly.


When doing "forrest" from the root site directory i get :

d:\src\cocoon-site>forrest

Apache Forrest.  Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options


Buildfile: d:\tools\apache-forrest-0.6\src\core\forrest.build.xml

Any pointers ?

All our known issues/bugs are in our issue tracker 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR do some searches there, I can't 
think of any known issues of the top of my head.

I just found out what was wrong :

i had FORREST_HOME set to d:\tools\forrest\scr\core\ , removing the
trailing backslash made everything work.

I've been bitten by trailing slashes in env variables a few times
before, it always amazes me how they are able to completely wreck good
software and make it display errors nobody has ever seen before.

oh well :(

That last 1.5 lines are remnants of the forrest.bat
shell script that invokes forrest. I wonder if the
parameters for the call are getting corrupted on
your system. Sorry, someone else might have ideas.

Now i just tried building cocoon-site using
forrest-0.7 and it does work. I had expected
that customisations would be required. The
only trouble is when you commit the generated
site, there will be more changes than were expected.
Subsequent updates would be fine.

We can update the wiki page to say to use 0.7
to build cocoon-site.

However, i don't know what is happening with the
cocoon-2.1 docs anymore. If it is important to
publish those, then i could try to investigate.

nope doesn't work either. All i did was unzip forrest-0.6, set
FORREST_HOME, added FORREST_HOME/bin to the path.

I can't even run forrest -projecthelp, keep getting the same error.

Hmmm, no idea sorry. I can build cocoon-site no problems.

Would you try this test please:

cd somewhere
mkdir my-test; cd my-test
forrest seed
forrest

... that will determine that your forrest installation
is okay.
