[kepler-dev] Notes about building Kepler under Windows (Cygwin)

Hi Dan,
Thanks, I had just realized that my ptII tree was out of date (How
embarrasing :-). In my defense, perhaps there should be an ant target
that does cvs updates in ptII and kepler?
Anyway . . .
My bad.
The problem is with the bin/ant shell script under Cygwin with
Quicktime Java installed. Ptolemy users that install Quicktime to use
the Java 3D actros that use Quicktime will have this problem.
Fortunately, the number of users in this category is small.
Unfortunately, Edward is one of them.
Apple messed up how they set the CLASSPATH under Windows. They should
have used either backslashes or doublequotes, but not both.
If, under Cygwin, one has Quicktime Java installed,
sh -x ../apache-ant-1.6.5/bin/ant full-clean ptolemy
returns some pretty odd stuff
ant --execdebug run-dev also looks funny, see the doublequotes
at the end:
$ ant --execdebug run-dev
exec "/cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.2_08/bin/java" -classpath "c:/cxh/src/apache-ant-1.6. 5/lib/ant-launcher.jar" -Dant.home="c:/cxh/src/apache-ant-1.6.5" -Dant.library.dir="c:/cxh/src/apache-ant-1.6.5/lib" -Dcygwin.user.home="c:/cxh" org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -cp "./;c:/PROGRA~1/JMF21~1.1E/lib/sound.jar;c:/PROGRA~1/JMF21~1.1E/lib/jmf.jar;c:/PROGRA~1/JMF21~1.1E/lib;c:/WINDOWS/java/classes;./;"C;C:/cygwin/Program Files/Java/j2re1.4.2_08/lib/ext/QTJava.zip"" "run-dev"
Buildfile: build.xml
usage:
[echo] You must set two environment variables before running this
[echo] build. Set KEPLER to the location of your kepler
[echo] directory and set PTII to the location of your ptolemy
directory.
[echo] On Windows, still use forward slashes (/) in directory paths.
I think what is happening here is that ant is using the CLASSPATH and
failing to run the "run-dev" target. This is a bug with ant, not with
Kepler.
This could be reported as a bug to the ant maintainers, but I have
other bugs to fry.
I think I'm past this one now.

--------
Christopher,
Your errors at the end (regarding TokenSentListener) look like you
are not compiling against the latest checkout of Ptolemy (since the
Provenance stuff is in the PTII CVS, I think).
Also, I had never looked at the QuickTime interface, but I think
Apple put it in the lib\ext\
directory to make sure it gets into the classpath regardless of what the
classpath setting is. The Kepler ant scripts (like 'ant run-dev') set
the classpath in the java invocation, so they should be completely
independent of the $CLASSPATH environment variable.
