Compiling Eclipse on Slackware 11
I'm trying to build Eclipse 3.2.2 but receive numerous errors:
Code:
1. ERROR in |
I have eclipse on slackware 11 working ok. And I didn't need to do any compiling. SOrry if I don't grasp what your're doing. After unpacking /untarring there is a .jar file that gets started by the script `eclipse'
what is the target of your javac command? |
You can download a binary version or the source version from the Eclipse website. I like to compile from source because it lets you learn things. Like in this case :D.
As for the target of javac, I just execute the bash build script that comes with Eclipse . Ant is called from that script using a build.xml file. |
Have you tried compiling the IPluginInDescriptor first? Providing it even exists, it looks as if it can't be found, possibly because it hasn't been compiled yet. So maybe compile that first, than the rest.

merchtemeagle: again sorry for my lapse, certainly you can download source.
Now to add to jay73's advice: how about downloading eclipse (compiled version), then using That to import the cvs / dir structure / whatever of the eclipse source your're working on here. Implement ant also from that build.xml in the working eclipse. And compile there (of course your workspace for your output .class files would be different from the downloaded-already-compiled one). That way IPluginDescriptor and all other such classes needed are compiled in the right order. You'll also have something of a benchmark to compare the performance of your built eclipse vs. the downloaded-compiled one. HTH |
