#86 Unable to compile some modules with Ant

[Camille Laibe]

Hi,

Using the latest trunk (r. 2147) and Ant, I cannot compile some modules (such as celldesigner or tidy).
This happens when either running "ant module-dist" from the root or "ant jar" from an individual module folder.
Usual error message says: BUILD FAILED [...]/JSBML/build does not exist.

Camille.

The problem you encountered might have been related to an error in the distrib build file that prevented the compilation of this extension.

I have corrected that so now 'ant dist' should work, even from a fresh checkout.

I have added a README file on the tidy module folder to explain how to compile it. At the moment, it does require to have jsbml-core compiled beforehand and I don't think we will change that in the near future.

Thank you for that. Actually that did not solve my issue. I realised that the 'compile' task of the 'tidy' module Ant needs a folder 'build' at the root of the trunk that is not provided by a clean checkout (and subsequent core compilation). So that I needed to manually create it. Would be worth to add it to the trunk.

Hi Camille,

Thanks for your feedback. I don't think it should be added to the trunk.
The Ant script should better generate it if it is missing.

Thanks
Andreas

I have added a README file in the tidy folder. Can you have a look at the instructions to see if that solve your problem.
Also, if you are doing a 'ant dist' in the trunk folder, you will have the tidy distribution generated along with the jsbml jar files.
