problem compile demoj

[meirab]

hello "zeroc" - i try to compile demoj from ice 3.1.1 - after i created a project in intellij/idea5 from .jetbrains.

i have created the project in: C:\Ice-3.1.1

and then went to: demoj sub directory (in idea5) and clicked the "ant" build file, the result is: THE BUILD DID NOT SUCCEED.

I'm sorry, but you really must include a much more detailed error description if you want us to help you.

i try to send the .bmp attachments file from firefox3 but it does not work from firefox3.

i try to use explorer6 and login does not accept user+password that accepted from firefox3.

all is needed is to compile the build.xml from demoj and i believe that the build will give the same results.

.bmp attachements? If you have a log, then cut&paste it please. We don't want to read images instead of text logs. Also, you must provide a lot more details. What is intellij/idea5? What is jetbrains? How does this have to do with Ice?

the tools used for this "ant" build:

windows2000/sp4
apache ant 1.7.0
java jdk 6
C:\Ice-3.1.1

define
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01
in "properties" of "my computer"

and:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01
set ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.7.0
set PATH=%PATH%;%JUNIT_HOME%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME% \lib

and running this batch file before in order to make windows
"know" the 3 software packages.

The error indicates that the Slice2Java Ant tasks cannot be found. Have you set the ICE_HOME environment variable to path where you installed Ice?

[meirab]

the problem is not in: set ICE_HOME=C:\Ice-3.1.1

the problem starts from a line at:

http://www.zeroc.com/download.html#win32_msi

"Note that, to build Ice for Java, you must first compile Ice for C++ or, alternatively, download and install an appropriate binary distribution. This is necessary because the Slice-to-Java compiler is written in C++."

after some time i understood that it's not enough to download vc++2005 express and install it - but you must
install ice-3.1.1-vc80.msi AFTER, and ONLY then the ANT build succeeds !!!

No, this cannot be the problem.

You can install Ice and build the Java demos without any C++ compiler installed on your system.

Best regards,
