Hi Clay, It sounds like you have ant installed and ready to go. Did you download the binary zip bundle and unzip it? If so I think you are ready to roll. By default when you invoke ant it looks for a build.xml file in the current directory and runs the default target defined in that file. If you like you can specify a build file to process using the -f option to ant.
I may be missing something. hth. --ryano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carter, Donald C (Genworth)" To: [email protected] Subject: Difficulties Installing Ant Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 11:02:38 -0400 Hello, I'm trying to install ant and running into some frustrating problems. I setup the env variables and execute ant.bat as indicated by the install.html file in the docs, and the ant.bat execution fails due to a lack of a build.xml file. I checked and there is no build.xml file to be found in the ant directory. This is a copy of my output: c:\>set ANT_HOME=c:\apache-ant-1.7.0 c:\>set JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02 c:\>set PATH=C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\X 11R6\bin;c:\Oracle\Ora10g\bin;c:\Oracle\Ora10g\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;c:\O racle\Or a10g\jre\1.4.2\bin;c:\Program Files\CA\SC\CAWIN\;c:\WINDOWS\system32;c:\WINDOWS; c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\CA\DSM\bin;c:\PROGRA~1\CA\SC\CAM\bin;c :\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;c:\Program Files\Embarcadero \Shared;c:\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin c:\>cd apache-ant-1.7.0\bin c:\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin>ant.bat Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
