help with first time setup

[Tony <t....@verizon.net>]

I'm trying to setup to setup this tomcat server for the first time but i 
keep getting BUILD FAILED...

it says: D:\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\build.xml:7: Malformed \uxxxx encoding.

i swapped all the variables ${ whatever } with directories...

onyl thing i can think of is this file has UNIX literals with forward 
slashes instead of backslash- does that matter?

thanks for any help!

Where did you find that Information?

You could

1. remove the line     <copy todir="${catalina.build}/common/lib"
file="${tyrex.jar}"/> (will produce compiler-errors, so it's not a solution
if you want to build tomcat...)
or
2. Get a tyrex.jar and provide it to the build-process.

Seems that the information "tyrex is optional" is wrong with the current
build-procedure of tomcat?

Maybe you should simply download the latest file from
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/nightly/?

hey conor thanks for the reply :)

actually i just got passed that- i missed a variable stupid me. but now i 
have a new problem. i noticed tyrex was optional, so i decided to omit it 
since the site has broken links and i cant download it anyway- but the 
builder looks for tyrex files and quits when it cant find it- what should i 
do so it wont look for it?

Which version of Ant?

Have you edited the build.xml file with a vs.net XML editor?

Run ant with a -debug flag to see if you get more info about the exception.
