help with buliding / compiling for a zimbra developer environment

[mallah_rajesh]

Hi,

I am willing to work on certain parts of ZimbraServer and need to
have a development environment setup. My OS is Debian Linux Lenny.
Firstly i have already gone through the following resources

1. GNR on Debian Lenny - Zimbra :: Wiki
2. "ZimbraWebClient/WebRoot/help/en_US/admin/txt/readme_source.txt"
and searched through the wiki & forum.

the problem is (2) does not seems to be uptodate. I have followed
the instructions in it but facing problem.

I downloaded zcs-6.0.4_GA_2040-src.tgz from sourceforge and extracted.
then i wen to ZimbraBuild and did

$ make dev-install

it loudly complaints the below:

*** Installing mysql

(cd /opt/zimbra; tar xzf /mnt/disk2/opt/public/zcs-src/zcs-6.0.4_GA_2040-src/GNR-604/ZimbraBuild/../ThirdPartyBuilds/DEBIAN5/mysql/mysql-standard-5.0.87-pc-linux-gnu-i686-glibc23.tar.gz; )
tar: /mnt/disk2/opt/public/zcs-src/zcs-6.0.4_GA_2040-src/GNR-604/ZimbraBuild/../ThirdPartyBuilds/DEBIAN5/mysql/mysql-standard-5.0.87-pc-linux-gnu-i686-glibc23.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
make: *** [/opt/zimbra/mysql-standard-5.0.87-pc-linux-gnu-i686-glibc23] Error 2


Ok! it complaining of ThirdPartyBuilds , but even after doing that(takes
> 2hrs on my slow cpu ) . It gives another error relating to absence of
zimbra schema file.


My question is does a working document exists ? I am even ready to update
the seemingly outdated docs if anyone can help me out with getting
the initial setup done.

*** UPDATE ******
make dev-install gives the below error:

$ make dev-install

**** UPDATE 2 *******
After managing to put zimbra.schema and zimbra_schema.ldif ,
the build process runs for couple of minutes but failes again at below

*** Installing tomcat
(cd /opt/zimbra; tar xzf /mnt/disk2/opt/public/zcs-src/zcs-6.0.4_GA_2040-src/GNR-604/ZimbraBuild/../ThirdParty/jakarta-tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15.tar.gz; )

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
make: *** [/opt/zimbra/apache-tomcat-5.5.15] Error 2

*************END OF UPDATE 2 *********************


*** UPDATE 3 *********
In subsequent run of make dev-install the permission of below
/opt/zimbra/openldap-2.4.20.4z/etc/openldap/zimbra_mimehandlers.ldif
had to be changed to 644 from 444 , in order to reach the error mentioned
in UPDATE 2
*********** END OF UPDATE 3 *******************


**** update 4 *************

looks like devtargets.def insists on tomcat with no signs of jetty but
ThirdParty/* is inclined towards jetty with nosign of tomcat.

****** end of update 4 **********

Am i totally in a wrong direction
