Re: Building GWT 2.5 From Source

[emurmur]

I got this same error the first time I tried the build.  This issue is that I checked out the source using Tortoise SVN.  It was using version 1.6 SVN database.  My command line svn tools (which I installed for this purpose) were using 1.7 database format, so the call to "svn info" failed.  You can verify this by going into the trunk folder and running the command from the command prompt.

The fix was to uninstall the command line svn tools and install and older version (1.6.20) so it would use the same database format as Tortoise.

I checked out the latest source with Tortoise SVN and am trying to build after putting a fix for Issue 2467 but I am getting the following error. I have had to install Subversion 1.7.8 to get the command line svn working because previously I was getting an SVN command error when building:

SVN is only used to get the revision (for some obscure reason during the build). You can bypass it by setting the gwt.svnrev, e.g. "ant -Dgwt.svnrev=trunk@12345"

BTW, we're moving to Git, so if you plan on contributing further (would be great!) you'd better start using Git too. See https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-web-toolkit-contributors/fmHDlsnfdEQ/discussion

(we'll also move from ant to maven but that's another story)
