[Firebird-docs] Build.sh issue

[Dimitrios C. I. <dc...@in...>]

Hi all,

  after i installed the java re (rpm) and exported the JAVA_HOME 
variable i try to execute the build.sh script. It returned an error 
that the java command cannot be found. The JAVA_HOME was correct so 
i edit the script and added $JAVA_HOME/bin/java blah blah .....

  The jre is installed in /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03 dir. Is it my 
distro (RH8.0 Full Update) or is it a bug ?

A combination of the two. In some distros, ordinary users (as opposed
to root) don't have the java bindir in their path by default. I've
noticed this before; will fix the script soon.

In the meantime you did the exact right thing in your own script.

OK, fixed: build.sh now calls java via $JAVA_HOME, just like
build.bat does under Windows.
