I was looking at the todo list for 2.2a1 and noticed that building on linux was one of the items. I downloaded a copy of the source from CVS got ant and was able to build under linux. I only needed to change lines 42,43 of build.xml which define the ant properites "python.lib" and "python.exe". The buildfile expects the python libraries under ${python.home}/Lib and the python execuitable under $(python.home} The python RPM for Redhat 9 places the python libraries under /usr/lib/python2.2/ and the python execuiable under /usr/bin/python with /usr/bin/python2 a symbolic link to /usr/bin/python. I don't know enough about ant to fix this correctly, I just hacked in the correct paths. This was under redhat 9 with the python-2.2.3-7 RPM from RedHat using JDK-1.4.2 Also with regards to the TODO item about the installer being broken, while looking for ant I stumbled across the Jpackage project. They seem to provide RPM packages for a number of different Java based tools. ( http://jpackage.org/ ) They even have a package for Jython-2.1: http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=149 They may be willing to package up a 2.2 release. Hope this is somewhat helpfull. _Travis_Caldwell_ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/ |
