Tomcat Build Problem on Solaris

["Stephen F. Kispersky" <st...@wonder2.TGFS.COM>]

Dear Tomcatters,

I tried to update my Apache/JServ installation to Tomcat, and had some
problems. Could you please comment??

Thanks,

	Steve Kispersky



Environment:

- Solaris 7, SPARC Ultra 5
- Tomcat 3.2 source
- Apache 1.3.12

Problems:

- In the README, "servletapi" is referenced, but it is not to be found on the
  Tomcat site that I could see. I tried substituting the JSAPI classes on
  Sun site (version 2.2).

- After untaring the Tomcat source, I found the shell scripts to be lacking
  the executable file mode, and also had to translate them to Unix file
  format before they would run!

- My build came up with compile errors (see listing below)

If you go to http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.2/src/,
you should see jakarta-servletapi-3.2-src.tar.gz.

Hmm, I just downloaded a fresh copy of the 3.2 final source. build.sh has
its bits set properly, and line endings are Unix-style. Just for reference,
my jakarta-tomcat-3.2-src.tar is 6,256,640 bytes - double check yours,
maybe you should d/l it again.

I'm running TC 3.2 on Solaris 7 also, so let me know if you have problems.
