Package: ant
Version: 1.6.1-1
Severity: normal
I have installed
sablevm 1.1.0-5
classpath 0.07-2
jikes 1.18-8
and no other Java VMs, libraries, or compilers.
Using the following build.xml:
<project name="MyProject" default="dist" basedir=".">
</project>
just running "ant" gives this message:
The -lib argument must be followed by a library location
I don't know what this is trying to tell me.
Running "ant -Dbuild.compiler=jikes" gives:
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in ?/lib/tools.jar
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target `dist' does not exist in this project.
Total time: 0 seconds
I don't know what the first line is supposed to say, but there is no
tools.jar in any Debian package, AFAICT.
