Building from source
I was trying to follow the direction from the web site for building Tomcat
5.5 from source. I was wondering if anybody has done a from scratch build
using those instructions? I found right off the build.xml
(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/build.xml) linked from that page
(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/building.html) failed for me when
checking out the source. To get the check out to work I had to change the
ant exec from :
<exec dir="${basedir}"
executable="svn"
inputstring="t${line.separator}"
failonerror="true">
<arg value="checkout" />
<arg value="${svnroot}/${current.loc}" />
<arg value="${basedir}" />
</exec>
To
<exec dir="${basedir}"
executable="svn"
inputstring="t${line.separator}"
failonerror="true">
<arg value="checkout" />
<arg value="${svnroot}/${current.loc}" />
<arg value="." />
</exec>
The change is in the 3rd <arg /> tag. The original caused the checkout to
create a sub-directory named tc5.5.x which had the build directory in it.
So you got something like this
\tomcat-build
\build.xml
\tc5.5.x
\.svn
\build
\connectors
\container
\jasper
\servletapi
It seemed the script was expecting
\tomcat-build
\build.xml
\.svn
\build
\connectors
\container
\jasper
\servletapi
By changing the 3rd arg I got this structure and the build proceeded for
quite some time. It then finally failed with the following:
build-static:
[copy] Copying 4 files to D:\Tomcat\New
Folder\build\build\webapps\tomcat-docs

executing this line:

Here I'm stuck at the moment. It would appear to be complaining about the
doctype in this file not being correct but that's the way it's declared in
all the files. Any ideas how to correct this?

1. dont use folders with spaces, in theory they should work, in
practice, who knows
2. building is easier than that, follow these steps
a) svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/current/tc5.5.x
b) cd tc5.5.x
c) edit build.properties.default (the base.path parameter is where it
will download dependencies too)
d) ant download
e) ant (or ant release, but this requires additional stuff)
