Problem compiling jboss-3.0.0alpha on Windows

[sboden]

Yesterday I retrieved the CVS snapshot of "jboss-all" on a Windows ME system. When I ran the build.bat from the main build directory I got nothing but errors: bad commands, syntax errors all the way.

I got jboss to recompile by rewriting large parts of the build.bat script, ant.bat and lcp.bat (the last 2 from the /tools/bin directory).

So is everyone only compiling jboss on a UNIX system? Or am I doing something very wrong?

In the end I got jboss running from the source except for some errors deploying "MEJB" (wrong return for create) and shutting down which doesn't seem to work (I can't find the shutdown service on http://127.0.0.1:8082/), the shutdown.bat script doesn't work either.

The .bat files probably don't work on 9x/ME they
use features only on NT/2000/XP.

Hi !

I'm using a Unix emulator for Windows called Cygwin, because the build fails with batch-file on my Windows 98 system. Shutting down can simply be accomplished by pressing [CTRL]-c ;-).

Bye,

Jochen.

I use cygwin as well. :-)
I don't know how anybody can use the windows shell?

Incidently, Jason Dillon has fixed the .sh files
so they convert unix paths to windows paths, meaning
you can run them with a windows JVM. Very Good!
