That's not good. I'll go take a look.

This has certainly worked for me in the past.

The 4.1.32 source release will fix this. It will wrap up all the
necessary sources into a single zip.

Sounds like dodgy default values in the build script. There have been
issues in the past that I believe I have fixed for 4.1.32. Basically,
with the 4.1.32 source distro, assuming you have all the libs, a simple
ant build from the root of the source directory should be all the is
required.

That is really odd. What were the errors? SVN trunk builds quite happily
with all the latest versions. The struts upgrade was a PITA but the rest
were pretty painless.

I'll add this one.

I am so inclined - working on it now. Having all the source in a single
zip (with the right structure) should make things easier.


Thanks for the info.
