Building Tomcat 4.1.12 from source

["Faine, Mark" <Ma...@msfc.nasa.gov>]

Solaris 8 
Tomcat 4.1.12
I'm trying to build from source using the BUILDING instructions in the
source directory. I've completed everything on the list, even the optional
packages. 

Now I get this error:


BUILD FAILED
file:/export/home/temp/appserv/temp/jakarta-tomcat-jasper/jasper2/build.xml:
119: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.


There is nothing in there anywhere about jasper or jasper2 or anything
jasper related. Even so I got jasper from cvs and attempted to do my "ant
dist" again, still I can't get past jasper. Is jakarta-tomcat-jasper needed,
if so why isn't it mentioned in the BUILDING file and how come I can only
find it in CVS?

Does anyone know what I need to do get this to finish building?

Thanks,
Mark

In the source distribution, jasper is packaged under the
jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-src/jasper directory.  You need to set
"jasper.home=jasper" (w/o the quotes) in your build.properties file.

Note, that it is actually much easier to build from source than the BUILDING
instructions make it out to be.  Except for "Java Activation", "Java Mail",
JSSE, JTA, (which are all optional) you can get the rest by unpacking the
source distribution, and copying "build.properties.sample" to
"build.properties".  If you are behind a firewall, edit the file to set
"proxy.host", and "proxy.port" to your proxy server.  Set any other
properties you want to change, and then do "ant download".
