I think you need to unpack the kit with gnu-tar (winzip doesn't make the empty
directories).
I did read this somewhere, but can't find the reference now.
I use the tar in cygwin.
Cheers,

Subject: Odd problem(s) installing cocoon 2.1.1 under Windows 2000
I just finished working through some problems getting cocoon installed on my system.
I found them to be rather odd, so I figured
I'd bring it to the group's attention.
I believe everything in my configuration is about as current as could be, as I
recently had to reinstall W2K:
Windows 2000 SP4
Apache 2.0.47
Ant 1.5.3
Tomcat 4.1.27
Cocoon 2.1.1 "latest"
After confirming that Apache, Ant, and Tomcat all installed properly, I unzipped
Cocoon and followed the simplistic directions in
the file "Install.txt" to complete my installation. (I typed "build") When I ran the
build, I received this error:
BUILD FAILED
file:C:/cocoon-2.1.1/build/cocoon-2.1.1/temp/blocks-build.xml:1542: C:\cocoon-2.
1.1\src\blocks\session-fw\lib not found.
To try to get around this problem, I decided to simply create the folder that was "not
found", and try again. I then got a similar
message with a different folder, and repeated my steps, creating another "lib" folder.
I repeated this process roughly 20 times
before I finally got a successful build. In all but one instance I needed to add a
"lib" folder. In one case, I needed to add a
"java" folder. If need be, I can hunt down all the specific folder names, but I doubt
if that is an issue. Apparently, the problem
is that the build tool is failing (in some cases) when a folder is missing, even if
there is no required content in that folder.
The only thing even remotely out of the ordinary in my installation procedure that I
can think of is that Tomcat wasn't running the
first time I tried the "build" command. I can't see how that could have caused
problems such as I described.
I just wanted to bring this to the group's attention, in case anyone else has run into
similar problems, or if anyone can identify a
"heads up" as to other problems that I need to be aware of as a result of these quirks.
