Hi,
I have built and run a snapshot with the help of the fop.sh script in xml-fop
directory, and some learning about the java classpath. The successful build
was with blackdown java141, a sun license javac and JVM.
I tried without success to compile with an alternative "free open" JVM. Even though
some of
compile started, I got a message that the build failed at
====================================
[copy] Copying 7 files to
/download/svg-browser-src/xml-fop/build/classes/org/apache/fop/render/awt/viewer/Images
[javac] Compiling 909 source files to

[javac] This version of java does not support the classic compiler; upgrading to
modern
BUILD FAILED
file:/download/svg-browser-src/xml-fop/build.xml:456: Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
======================================
This seems to imply that sun is specified in the build. I was not
able to see any string com.sun.tools or com/sun/tools in build.xml file...
Is it desirable to test building fop with open java clone compilers and JVMs?
Could the build script allow a non-Sun Microsystems javac and libs easily?
For instance, debian's sablevm based free-java-sdk package?
Thanks for the suggestions from yesterday:
Thomas DeWeese: I would put the build dirs on the class path..
Sumeet Singh Parmar: If you are building from source, try:
./build.sh dist-tgz
