Re: [Ant-contrib-developers] newbie: xdocs target for cpptasks failing

Hi Curt, Thank you for the instructions. I tried them on my box (Redhat 8) and unfortunately they failed. I was about to give up, when I realized that the old ant was still being used. Apparently one needs to unset ANT_HOME, otherwise it gets picked up again regardless of which ant.sh is running. So I did that and ant compilation proceeded smoothly. I build ant from cvs and used it to compile proposal/xdocs as you suggested. That went off without a hitch as well. However when I used the new ant to run "ant -Dant-src.dir=<my ant dir here> dist", as you suggested, I run into a _new_ error, pasted at the bottom. I am once again stuck here... PLUS: Sorry for asking for help again. Thanks, Tarun [antdoclet] The class "cpptasks." occurs more than once. That's illegal.
