Use the .properties file
Ok, but that references a file "avalon-framework.jar". In the latest Avalon distribution I have these:
avalon-framework-4.1.5.jar avalon-framework-api-4.1.5.jar avalon-framework-impl-4.1.5.jar
So, which one is the one Fortress needs?
the first one.
Last version of the framework is ok. Usually I get the necessary jars directly from ibiblio.
What does "ibiblio" mean?
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/ is a repository of jars.
Am I doing something wrong?
nope. Our old ant scripts assume you have a file in your home directory named .ant.properties (IIRC) which points to local locations of jars. In case of no such files, it tries to use defaults (from the provided .properties file). These defaults generally assume you are building inside a set of checked-out cvs trees.
This process seems broken, is there an alternative?
Rewrite the ant scripts, or don't use them (perhaps compile using your IDE instead). In the next release, we're likely to move this stuff to use maven, which will download jars for you.
Can I make the buildfile download all the relevant libs automatically?
sure. The cvs attic for the avalon module (for example) has some ant scripts that do just that, though not for fortress; you'd have to do some serious ant script hacking yourself :D
