Zimbra Build can't see JDK 1.5

[mtkoan]

Hello,

I am trying to build Zimbra from the main branch on Slackware-current, source downloaded today with perforce, as per Building Zimbra using Perforce - Zimbra :: Wiki

I have downloaded jdk 1.5, put it in /usr/local, and symlinked it to java, as requested by the by the build script, but it still can't see jdk 1.5. Here is my /usr/local dir:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root  4.0K 2010-04-26 13:55 bin

and the error from buildZCS.sh:

Checking for prerequisite binaries
  Checking ant
./buildZCS.sh: line 79: [: too many arguments
  Checking java
Error: java not found
Please obtain JDK 1.5 from:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
And install it in /usr/local
Then symlink it to /usr/local/java

Can anyone help?

Despite what it's telling you, it actually needs to have java in your PATH. You probably need to add /usr/local/java/bin to your PATH before telling it to compile.

I've got the very same error message because java ran out of memory (needs >256MB, final .jar build fails with 512MB).

If you're on a shared hoster, try getting more memory.

You need to figure out why the check for ant is failing as well.

I'm sure ant is failing? It IS installed, and gave an error that it wasn't prior my installing it. The line (in the script) which is now bad syntax, (not sure why) is:

if [ $MAJOR -eq 1 -a $MINOR -lt 6  -a $PATCH -lt 5 ]; then

$MAJOR and $MINOR are extracted from java's/ant's output.
Unfortunatelly, zimbra scripts don't check if that output makes any sense. Furthermore, $MAJOR etc. are not quoted in the test.

So if the java output is "Could not start the virtual machine", that will be pasted as $MAJOR, resulting in

 if [ Could not start the virtual machine -eq 1 ... ]

Too many arguments for `test`.

Quite right, I checked this yesterday after you posted. Ant is looking for tools.jar in the wrong, place: /usr/lib/java/lib/tools.jar

while its actually in /usr/lib/java/jdk1.6.0_18/lib

or, for jdk 1.5
/usr/local/java/lib
