Damn I hate using Outlook (my apologies for formatting stupidity as I have no choice but to use Outlook at work).

I'm not sure how I would come across the URL you listed above when the normal documentation browsing method takes me to the one I referenced. However, after two weeks of posting on this problem, it is the first I hear of the URL you posted. > We works hard in JK/JK2 to provide up to date documentation and to > include users feedback. > > And to be able to include such feedback, we need POSITIVE returns, > including bug/fixes and experiences on the various operating systems. > > I don't doubt you guys are doing plenty of work, but if this is the first I hear from someone on the project about these issues. Also, I have to be sure I'm not the idiot posting problems with the build when they are actually problems with my OS. I don't know Solaris well enough to be sure it's not library/compiler/linker goofiness on Solaris 7. You must also give credit to my unhappiness with the documentation simply on the fact that someone outside the jakarta group is writing build docs (implying that the existing in-project docs are insufficient for many people). > > > > I faced the same behaviour.

Regardless, here you go: Solaris 7 (x86) with all suggested patches (intent to move to SPARC once build process is working) gcc 3.2 Solaris Linker 5.7-1.277 (hadn't posted this before, build scripts seem ok with using non-gnu linker) GNU make 3.80 libtool 1.4.3 automake 1.7.1 GNU m4 1.4 autoconf 2.54 apache 2.0.43 perl 5.8.0 (required by other build tools) Everything listed has been compiled and installed locally with the exception of the linker and the OS. > And as allways in ASF/OSS spirit, suggestions, bug fixes, documentations > updates are welcomed and much more profitable to community that just > negative opinion like "dont' quite seem to cover everything (you know > what I mean)". > First, you are reading too much into that statement.. I didn't feel the need to go into detail since it seemed common knowledge that the docs were unfinished and incomplete at that location (you yourself have admitted as much). Second, it's not an opinion, it is a fact that the docs at the URL you get to by normally browsing the Jakarta site are inadequate and incomplete (has empty sections last time I looked). See above mention of an individual building docs. If you haven't seen the external JK build doc URL posted, search the archives. Thirdly, I spent a reasonable amount of time digging through the JK docs and Tomcat area of the Jakarta site looking for a way to contact the JK folks at least for the build error about "libtool" having to be copied into the "common" directory but found nothing. Therefore I mentioned it in at least one post here on this least since I assumed there was no other place to submit this data. I was then going to post it to Bug/IssueZilla once I found that for this project, but wanted to get a complete solution with all my problems (and to be sure they were mine) before I did so so I wouldn't get an email similar to what you sent above or with a tone of "you're an idiot, this is not our problem". So, would you prefer I submit every little stumbling block when I'm not sure what system is the problem (and wait for you folks to sift through the many submissions and get to mine each in turn) or would you rather I vent a little on the mailing list after I've hit "problem #10", get it all fixed, and submit you a nice clean report which saves you time and gets me running quicker? Hopefully now you understand my posts a bit better. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
