Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks. It could not be found.

[Justin Robinson]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to set up the BBB Dev Environment, but every time I run
sudo ant I get this message:

Buildfile: build.xml
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks.
It could not be found.

clean:

init-ant-contrib:

generate-html-wrapper:

BUILD FAILED
/home/justin/dev/source/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client/build.xml:
400: Problem: failed to create task or type html-wrapper
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken
place.

Another thread in this group dealing with this error resolved it by
loosening permissions on the flexTask folder; however, I've already
done this and still get the error. Any suggestions?

If I run it without sudo, I get a slightly different message:

Buildfile: build.xml

clean:

init-ant-contrib:

generate-html-wrapper:

build-deskshare-no-linker:
[echo] Compiling deskshare without optimization.

BUILD FAILED

You don't have your FLEX_HOME environment setup as it can't find the
mxmlc.jar file.

You should have the ff ENV vars setup.

Do you have /home/firstuser/dev/tools directories and are they
accessible by user justin?

if you type "env" on the command line, does the env get displayed?

Richard

Problem solved, although there is probably a more elegant way to do
it. I used sudo chmod -R 777 /home/firstuser/dev/tools/flex/* to
recursively give everything in the flex directory full permissions,
and ran ant (no sudo) and it built successfully in 1 minute 20
seconds. Again, there's probably a better way to do it...

Yes. The better way is to put the dev/tools dir in /home/justin and modify your
env vars to point to /home/justin instead of /home/firstuser. That way
when you run
ant as use justin, you have all the permissions.
