CVS Build Troubles

[andreychek]

Howdy,

I'm hoping to create a generic build script that anyone can use to build from CVS (which handles grabbing all the dependencies, etc etc).

It's coming along really well, except I ran into a snag during my own build. I gave it a few days in case it was just a CVS problem, but still no joy.

Basically, after downloading the dependencies, I go into the ZimbraBuild dir, run 'make', and I get the following error:

# make
(cd /root/zimbra-cvs/main/ZimbraBuild/../ZimbraServer; /usr/bin/ant \
	-Dplat.tag=UNKNOWN \
	-Dzimbra.buildinfo.version=3.0.0_M3_101.UNKNOWN \
	-Dzimbra.buildinfo.release=20051130170512 -Dzimbra.buildinfo.date=20051130170512 \
	-Dzimbra.buildinfo.host=zimbra.rwcwarranty.com dev-dist ; )

BUILD FAILED
/root/zimbra-cvs/main/ZimbraServer/build.xml:249: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

The Zimbra Network Edition is currently installed on the machine, and I have JAVA_HOME set to "/opt/zimbra/jdk1.5.0_05/".

I can see the classes it's complaining about:

main/ZimbraServer/build/classes/com/zimbra/cs/object/ObjectHandler.class
main/ZimbraServer/src/java/com/zimbra/cs/object/ObjectHandler.java

I'm running this on CentOS 4.2, which is why is why plat.tag is set to "UNKNOWN".

I solved some other problems by symlinking main/ZimbraBuild/defs/RHEL.def to main/ZimbraBuild/defs/UNKNOWN.def.

Is there something not being set correctly due to the distro I'm on that's preventing that from compiling correctly? Maybe I screwed something else up? :-)

Any thoughts would be great.

As soon as the script works I'll gladly post it on here :-)

Thanks,

Seems you found a problem with our CVS tree. Deletes aren't working. If you just delete this directory:

/root/zimbra-cvs/main/ZimbraServer/src/java/com/zimbra/cs/object/handler/

it should compile. Let us know if you hit anyother problems.

Our cvs synchronizer was down, too - so I've fixed the tree, and It's coming back up to date.

Aha!

Yes, that made a big difference.

Doing a 'cvs update' produces all sorts of changes, deletions, and the like. Much more what I'd expect that what I previously was seeing :-)

Now, it still doesn't compile, but it's a completely different error, and I'm sure it's just related to the snapshot I have ATM, I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks,

What's the error? I don't know if our tree is up to date or not, yet, but it _usually_ builds...

Ya know... I just did another 'cvs update', it pulled down a few more updates, and the problem went away.

Thanks!

i'm building on debian from current cvs

bodged my way through all the compile stuff, now getting a build.xml error:

BUILD FAILED
/opt/zimbra/zimbra-cvs/ZimbraWebClient/build.xml:542: Could not create task or type of type: propertyfile.

any ideas?

[marcmac]

Which ant version are you using?

[dijichi2]

Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on October 1 2005

[KevinH]

Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on October 1 2005

That looks good, just make sure that 'which ant' returns the right ant and that ANT_HOME is set to the ant 1.6.5 dir.
