Ant junit on gentoo fails

Question

I'm trying to build JOGL on gentoo and have installed all ant packages I could find, yet the build keeps failing with:

ant home:

zubzub@zubnix /usr/share/ant/lib $ echo $ANT_HOME 
/usr/share/ant

I have no idea where to look next, or what is actually causing the failure. Is there anything else I can check?

Answer 1

I'm not experienced with building JOGL, but your build is failing during the compile phase which creates the classpath using various environment variables such as JUNIT_JAR and ANT_JUNIT . Have you got all these variables set?

Answer 2

I did get it to work in the end.

By not using any of Gentoo's provided ant packages. I just downloaded the ant package from the official website. Extracted it, created a symlink in my home dir to ~/.ant and removed all ant related packages that were previously emerged. Next I made sure junit4 jar could be found by ant by creating a symlink from the junit4 jar to ~/.ant/lib

Tada, now it works. Looks like gentoo's ant packaging is just fundamentally broken.
