Re: Detailed ANT BUILD ERROR
hi folks,
Now here is the sequence of steps i have followed:
1. downloaded apache-ant-1.6alpha/ in /usr/local
2. went to /usr/local and did a mkdir ant
3. set my ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
4. ./build.sh -Ddist.dir=/usr/local/ant dist
5. After this my ant directory looks like this when I
do ls:
bin/ etc/ lib/ LICENSE.dom LICENSE.xerces
welcome.html
docs/ KEYS LICENSE LICENSE.sax README
WHATSNEW
6. I went to /usr/local/ant/bin directory and ran
./ant
but the error is
[root@localhost bin]# ./ant
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
-------------------------------------------------
After this I copied the build.xml file to the bin
directory i.e. to /usr/local/ant/bin
[root@localhost ant]# cp
../apache-ant-1.6alpha/build.xml ./bin/
and then tried to ran ./ant again but got this error:
[root@localhost bin]# ./ant
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/tools/ant/Main
------------------------------------------------------
I HAVE 2 Questions:
1. Is the sequence of steps I am following is correct?
If its not correct, someone please tell me what the
exact sequence of steps I should follow, straight from
downloading and making directories, everything please
:-)
2. If I am doing correct steps, How to debug this
error? and how to run ant.
-----------------------------------------------------
Thanks a Lot

That is to be expected. You are running Ant but there is no build file telling
Ant what to do. It's a bit like changing to javac's home directory and typing
javac. It's not going to find any java source files to process either.
So, in some location (/tmp maybe), create a simple "hello world" build file
<project name="test" default="main">
<target name="main">
<echo message="Hello, World!"/>
</target>
</project>
Now type
/usr/local/ant/bin/ant
and see what you get. If that works, you should setup your PATH and ANT_HOME
environment variables and export them in your startup script.

This will not be useful. The build.xml file is supposed to go with the source
tree with which it is associated. You can't generally move it around and
expect it to work.

Now that is odd, since it ran OK in step 6 above and gave an appropriate
error. Not sure what is going on here.
Have you read the pages here:
