Greetings,
Finally getting round to making a Gentoo ebuild for Tomcat 6.0.2. So
far so good, much less dependencies, and etc. Much improvements from
5.5.x, all the way around.
However I have one suggestion for now, and one problem. My suggestion
is, would it be possible to have an if or unless added to targets like
<target name="build-docs">
Something like
<target name="build-docs" if="build.javadoc">
or
<target name="build-docs" unless="nobuild.javadoc">
Now for my problem. I got most of the way through compile then ran into
this.
BUILD FAILED
/usr/portage/tmp/portage/www-servers/tomcat-6.0.2/work/apache-tomcat-6.0.2-src/build.xml:388:
Warning: Could not find file
/usr/portage/tmp/portage/www-servers/tomcat-6.0.2/temp/tomcat-native-1.1.7/tomcat-native.tar.gz
to copy.
I am a bit confused. Now granted we are not running the download targets
for a variety of reasons. But the native sources seem to be inside of
Tomcat. Why does it need a tar.gz as well as the sources? Shouldn't it
build that out of the sources. Or is that being shipped on it's own or
etc. Excuse me if I am totally in left field on this.
My plan for the native stuff on Gentoo is to have a USE flag, more than
likely jni, control if the native connector is built or not. Maybe
optional openssl or require that since it seems most of the point to the
native accelerator.
However I am not getting what the native stuff has to do with building
the java parts?
Thanks
