problem with ant under linux
Hi,
I just installed ant under linux and I set
$PATH and $ANT_HOME like they say in the manual.
$JAVA_HOME was already set.
Unfortunately it does not seem to work,
even with an empty CLASPPATH.
ant -version
Unknown argument: -cp
ant [options] [target [target2 [target3] ...]]
Options:
-help, -h print this message
.......
ant -help
/home/steffen/Java/apache-ant-1.6.5/bin/ant [script options] [options]
[target [target2 [target3] ..]]
Script Options:
--help, --h print this message and ant help
--noconfig suppress sourcing of /etc/ant.conf,
$HOME/.ant/ant.conf, and $HOME/.antrc
configuration files
--usejikes enable use of jikes by default, unless
set explicitly in configuration files
--execdebug print ant exec line generated by this
launch script
Unknown argument: -cp
ant [options] [target [target2 [target3] ...]]
Options:
-help, -h print this message
......................
I don't know what this "Unknown argument: -cp" exactly means.
Can someone give me a hint?
Thank you,
Diana

You manually installed 1.6.5 and you have 1.6.2
preinstalled by FC3.

As you can see it is tricky to control the Ant version
that comes with FC3 and the version that you manually
installed. So I would favor deleting the older
version. It perhaps can be done with the command
rpm -ev ant-1.6.2-3jpp
but it is not tested and I take no responsibility :))

/etc/ant.conf says
ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant
ant --noconfig -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005

ant-1.6.2-3jpp
Now I'm confused, is it now 1.6.2 or 1.6.5 (--noconfig -version)?
Should I delete my installation or should I ask the root
to delete older versions?

But using (by mistake) gcj may cause other problems, so
it is good to avoid it if it is not necessary.

I do not think that it is desribed in the 1.6.* manual.
There is a mention in the install.html in 1.7 cvs head.
The option simply causes the ant script to igore /etc/ant.conf.

It did not occur to me there is another ant version. I
then suppose that it is the real culprit. So we should
not blame GCJ for not supporting the same arguments.
What Diana can do now is too check what ant is
preinstalled with a command like this:
rpm -qa | grep ant.

Or the pre-installed ant can be installed completely
with rpm -e. I prefer this way to prevent another
problem with mixed versions of ant.

This is the first time I see --noconfig option and I
haven't noticed it in the ant manual. Could you please
give more light on it?

Re: problem with ant under linux
Posted by Peter Reilly <pe...@apache.org>.
The java stuff in Ivan's comment is correct.
However, the ant needs a little work!
The -cp not been reconized is due to an
older version of ant being installed.
This can be seen by looking at the file
/etc/ant.conf
It (re)sets the ANT_HOME env variable.
To test this please
do
ant --noconfig -version
(NOTE: the double dash and the single dash).

And these are GCJ executable.
Now you can fix that problem by setting PATH variable
in this way:
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME\bin:$PATH
Thus Sun JDK executables will be found before GCJ
executables are found.

Re: problem with ant under linux
Posted by Ivan Ivanov <ra...@yahoo.com>.
Diana,
What linux distribution are you using?
Some distributions come with preinstalled JDKs. Some
like Fedora Core 3 come with GCJ (GNU compiler for
java) and GCJ executables have the same names as Sun
JDK.
Can you check the value of JAVA_HOME (echo $JAVA_HOME)
and the location of java executables:
Command line argument -cp is used (at least with Sun
JDK) to specify the classpath.
