Category: Demo
Status: Closed

Severity: MEDIUM
Reported against release: 0.8.2
Fixed in release: 0.9

PROBLEM:

Ant build commands will not work on linux and solaris. The parser cannot
decipher the first 6 lines of code in build.xml

For example: HelloWorldProvider_im was installed on ow-Solaris.
I changed directory to 
usr/local/HelloWorldProvider_im-0.1/src/
com/mot/openwings/demo/helloworld/provider
and used the “ant” command.

The following build errors were generated.

# ant 
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED

-- Temporary Solution --

The following code was eliminated in the build.xml file:




  %IncludeBuildEnv;
]>  

and this code was replaced with 



  

I also copied code existing in buildEnv.xml into this build.xml file 
because buildEnv.xml could not be included. And I removed 
&IncludeBuildEnv;

The new build.xml file is attached.

Ant now works successfully on ow-Solaris

A final, long-term solution must be determined.

ANALYSIS:

The soultion is to remove a leading path separator at the begining
of the build file. So line 4 of build.xml

  

was changed to 

  


ALSO environment variables need to be checked on linux and solaris;
specifically JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME.
See AZHay04123 InstallAnywhere installer does not set both path and
PATH variables on unix.
