error in alfresco SDK setup

[alfrescouser]

Hello friends,
I have checked out Head revision of alfresco labs source code from svn://svn.alfresco.com.
Now I am trying to run  it through command line using ANT tool.
I set the TOMCAT_HOME and ant Environment variables.

The first command ant -f build.xml run successfully
But for the next step build failed
                           ant -f continuous.xml distribute
Here I am getting the error

BUILD FAILED
e:\alfrescoSDK\HEAD\root\continuous.xml:112: Execute failed:java.io.IOException: cannot run programme "svn":CreateProcess error=2, The system can not find the file specified

I am using tomcat 6.0.18

Please suggest any solution.

Thanks,
Madhura

Hi,

i guess you need an svn.exe (Subversion) in your PATH - see e.g. http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download

Hello,
I also got the same problem while running through command Line, but when tried with eclipse the application runs properly.

Try setting up the project in eclipse and run build-tomcat(default) target to create the war file in tomcat.
and start-tomcat-webclient for running the application  start-tomcat-webclient-debug for debugging.

You can go through the following links to setup project in eclipse

Maybe check your version of ant - 1.6.5 works fine for me (and obviously knows about dirname…)

Can you please tell me how you used ant to build it & where you associated this ant folder with Alfresco sdk.

Thanks.

Download ant
set ANT_HOME as environment variable and try

I am using ant-1.7.0. You can try with any 1.7.0. or 1.6.5

Dear friend,
I used apache ant 1.6 as well as apache ant 1.7.1
But again getting same problem of Build failed (Element dirname not found.)

Could you please suggest me any other way of ronning that.

Thanks,
