how to build lucene-solr (espeically if behind a firewall)?

[Will Milspec]

hi all,

building lucene/solr behind the firewall fails for us due to proxy errors.

I tried setting the ant_opts -Dhttp.proxyHost, etc, but found the "lucene"
portion still failed on javadoc links.

I worked round this by changing failonjavadocerror to 'false' in
lucene/common-build.xml (or alternatively adding -J-Dhttp.proxyHost, etc as
"args" element to the
javadoc tasks), but then 'changes2html' failed to connect to
https://issues.apache.org.

I'm posting to the solr-user group (even though compiling is developer-ish
stuff) as we need to apply a few patches lucene-solr.

Would someone be so kind as to post the following?
* Easiest way to build lucene-solr from source
* same, but if you're behind the firewall.

thanks,

will

What target did you try to build? Did you try "ant dist"?

If behind proxy; then use:

ant dist ${build_files:autoproxy}

Thanx
