Thanks Steve. I now have things working following
your advice. Just to be sure, I deleted all my
current install and re-started from scratch noting my
steps.
For anyone else having trouble here are the steps
required to get going with the latest Avalon sources
from svn (or at least what I did to get things
working):
Nb. this is for a Linux system with J2SDK 1.4.2 and
Ant 1.6.1 already installed.
1. Checkout Avalon sources using svn
$ mkdir $HOME/opt
$ cd ~/opt
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/avalon/trunk
avalon
2. Setup Avalon - this installs the ant libraries for
magic etc.
$ cd ~/opt/avalon
$ ant setup
This will have created $HOME/.ant/ and $HOME/.magic
directories
3. Build Avalon
$ ant
4. Install Merlin from the zip file just built.
$ cd ~/opt
$ unzip
avalon/runtime/merlin/cli/target/deliverables/dist/avalon-merlin-cli-SNAPSHOT.zip
Set some environment variables:
$ export MAGIC_HOME="$HOME/.magic"
$ export AVALON_HOME="$MAGIC_HOME"
$ export MERLIN_HOME="$HOME/opt/merlin"
Nb. Ensure Ant 1.6.1 is already installed and
$ANT_HOME set accordingly.
$ export
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:$ANT_HOME/bin:$MERLIN_HOME/bin
Create the file $HOME/.magic/user.properties
containing:
magic.cache = ${magic.home}/repository
Now go build and test the tutorials for Avalon
$ cd ~/opt/avalon/planet/tutorials
$ cd hello
$ ant clean
$ ant
$ merlin target/classes -execute
Or for the simple-web-server tutorial
$ cd simple-web
$ ant clean
$ ant
$ merlin target/classes
Then press Ctrl-C when you want to stop the simple web
server.
Hope that helps others. Please correct me if this is
still the wrong approach. My system does seem to be
working now though.
Regards.
Mark.
