I've downloaded the latest codebase and am trying to build the insight client.
I downloaded from the GIT repository and have run the ./build.py script in the top level directory. This runs to the end and builds lots of files into the dist directory. However it does not build Insight. A scan of all the jar files in the dist directory cannot find the class org.openmicroscopy.shoola.Main. (Note: I use the nice http://java.net/projects/jarscan/ utility for this.)
I move to the components/insight/build directory and try:
- Code: Select all
ant -lib tools
I then get a horrible stack trace error from ant about a missing method from org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils:
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED

I have had a look inside the tools/ant-1.6.2.jar file and the class org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils does exist but does not have the method getFileUtils().
I note that just below this line in the stack trace is a reference to a org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.dotnet.ImportTypelib class. This loads .tlb files to a dotnet assembly:
http://www.docjar.com/docs/api/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/dotnet/ImportTypelib.html
Given that I am on Linux I think this is the source of the error. Any ideas why the build is trying to load this?
If anyone has got this to work on Linux then advice would be useful.
Incidentally if I import the projects into Eclipse then I can build and run it from Eclipse ignoring the ant files. I would just like to generate the standalone omero.insight.jar through the correct build process using ant.
Thanks,
Alex
