Sorry to disagree, but it's impossible to build the said binaries without expensive compilers. (please do not suggest Cygwin)
Why? Is the Makefile broken?
Doesn't matter. We need the tomcat.exe and tomcatw.exe only. While the tomcat.exe could be compiled using cygwin or mingw, there is a problem with tomcatw.exe. The GNU's resource compilers doesn't handle the BITMAP resources so we are missing those whenever building with those tools.
Ok, I have noted the resources were missing but I have not tried to arrange it.
Also I'm not sure about the License and Cygwin binaries (that's too fuzzy, so I don't even bother to compile something with cygwin).
I will try to ask them.
AFAICT we don't build WIN32 distributable binaries with those tools for any j-t-c project. Further more, apache2.x installation is build with InstallShield (another expensive tool), and nobody complains about that.
:-((
So, find the space that can be reached from ant when building Tomcat5, and I'll put the binaries there, since we don't need them for anything but the nsis TC5 install package.
I do not want to remove the binaries now, I am just reaching a "Open Source" way to produce them.
So -1 to remove them, I need them where they are.
As I said, you need them where they can be found duiring build process.
