How to make a zimbra developer build?

[agunturu]

Hi,
I am trying to make a Zimbra developer build. I started with the instructions at the following link, but I found that the packages it is using are old and some of the links it points to are broken.
http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?tit...5_a nd_x86_64

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

We have been working on a couple new docs. One for Mac and one for Win32. I'll attach them for now but soon they will be in SVN. Please let us know if you have any suggestions to improve or find errors.

Thanks to our intern Melih for the heavy lifting by writing and testing these docs.

BTW: These docs talk about creating a dev build as if you'll develop on Zimbra. So for server or AJAX dev work. They don't build all the 3rd party code or do any of the pkg'ing..

We are working on a way to make source builds easier so you can sync to SVN, run a script to pull down the dependencies and then run make for a fully pkg'd installable binary.

My JAVA_HOME is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\bin. But I still have trouble building the image.

In addition to JAVA_HOME, I needed to set my PATH variable. But now I run into the following error:
generate-ldap-config:
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\Documents and Settings\utm\zimbra\frank\ZimbraServer\build\attrs
[copy] Copying 2 files to C:\Documents and Settings\utm\zimbra\frank\ZimbraServer\build\attrs

Awesome.

This would be absolutely huge, and I think you will find that there are suddenly a lot more community sponsored builds when that occurs. Thank you also for the new howto, I will test it later on today.

I believe the problem here is that the code isn't smart enough to actually handle the space. The two possible ways to fix this are: a) Don't use a directory with a space in it, or b) Windows allows you to refer to "long" paths (ie, c:\documents and settings) via a 8.3 name. In my case, "c:\documents and settings" can also be refered to as "c:\docume~1"

Thanks. After changing the directory name it seem to compile. I am able to access http://localhost:7070/zimbra, but I still have trouble accessing https://localhost:7071/zimbraAdmin. Do I need to configure something else for admin console?
Thanks,

When I checkout FRANK, and run reset-the-world I get the following error:
I am going to try and compile head and see if it works any better:

Edit: I did a check out of HEAD, and it still occurs there. Anyone have any ideas?
Hmm. This might be due to the JVM version being used

That was the problem.
