Support for Linux

Posted in

Hi,

I tested the product build under linux and the product build for linux under windows. Unfortunately it did not work. And looking at the sources of ant4eclipse I found, that it is not implemented right now. In our project we need the support for linux. Is there a chance, to get this soon?

What I achieved under liunx:
I could successfully build for windows with

		<buildProduct 
			workspaceDirectory="${workspaceDirectory}"
			productfile="${workspaceDirectory}/de.soffel.hellorcp.product/hellorcp.product"
			targetPlatformId="eclipse"
			destination="${destinationDirectory}"
			os="win32"
			clearDestination="true"
		    packageAsJar="true"
		    commandline="false"
		    packageSources="false"
		/>

and the following settings for the target platform:
		<ant4eclipse:targetPlatform id="eclipse">
			<location dir="/svnrepos/TargetPlatforms/eclipse-SDK-3.5.2-win32/eclipse" />
			<location dir="/svnrepos/TargetPlatforms/eclipse-3.5.2-delta-pack/eclipse" />
		</ant4eclipse:targetPlatform>

The result was nearly the same as the windows result, apart from the following differences in the destinations plugin directory:
In the linux result I had the directories
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.0.200.v20090520
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.5.2.v3557f.jar

instead of
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.5.2.v3557f.jar

Other values for the target platform (omitting delta pack, or delta pack and linux-gtk) yield to errors. For some reason the build fetches the linux launcher from the delta pack.

It would be great to get support for linux an the above issues fixed.

And please please answer to my new added comments
