Problem build alfresco from SVN

[donpimpom]

Hi,

I do:

1. download from svn the latest revision: svn co http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco
2. dowload tomcat 6 from apache servers and untar in /opt, so i've the directory /opt/tomcat6
3. Copy /opt/tomcat6 to /opt/tomcat6-virtual
4. Add the environment variable: JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun (It's correct in Debian)
5. Add the environment:

export TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/tomcat6
export APP_TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/tomcat6
export VIRTUAL_TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/tomcat6-virtual

6. I'm go the directory from SVN in my system for example: /home/donpimpom/SVN/alfresco/HEAD/root and wirte in console: ant build-tomcat

But i get this error:

Buildfile: /home/donpimpom/SVN/alfresco/HEAD/root/build.xml

BUILD FAILED
Target "continuous-init" does not exist in the project "alfresco". It is used from target "distribute-command-jars".

Total time: 0 seconds


What append??

I follow the wiki guide: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Development_Environment

Thanks.

You've done nothing wrong - it's a problem with our build files in HEAD.

For now, remove the "distribute-command-jars" target from build.xml.

Thanks,

Perfect!

But….now, when it build it, the console log say that directory …..HEAD/root/${env.TOMCAT_HOME}/lib not exit.

In my Eclipse, I've configured env.TOMCAT_HOME variable equals to /opt/tomcat6 where i've got tomcat6.

What happend now?

Thank's

Not sure what your other problem is (what's the build.xml line it's failing on?) but the original issue is now fixed in r19981

I just ran into this myself.  It's line 566 of build.xml for me…

/home/scott/source/Alfresco/HEAD/root/build.xml:566: Directory does not exist:/home/scott/source/Alfresco/HEAD/root/${env.TOMCAT_HOME}/lib

TOMCAT_HOME is set to /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.29 and "lib" exists under that.  This is SVN revision 22282 checked out last night.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Nevermind.  Sleep is a good thing.  So is the 'export' keyword in bash.

hi

You can see from the error that ${env.TOMCAT_HOME} is not replaced with the path which you specified. I came across this error and its probably due to setting up the path with normal user. Set the path switching to root if you are in linux and then build with sudo will solve your issue.
