Hello,
I am trying to build AspectJ from source
as I want to package it for Gentoo. The Gentoo packaging philosophy is
that everyhting must be built from source, and dependencies should be
taken from the system.
I checked out AspectJ 1.5.3 source from the
Eclipse.org
CVS server. So far so good. But my first problem is that I noticed that
the AspectJ distribution ships a .jar of Apache BCEL, required for
building. This JAR file differs from the vanilla JAR file that we
produce under Gentoo, because the hierarchy in the bundled jar is
org.aspectj.apache.* whereas in the vanilla distribution it's
apache.org.*
So the compilation fails. Did you actually modified the BCEL jar? And why??
I
would appreciate help for this packaging. Also I notified that
build.jar is required. Is it absolutely required for bootstrapping or
is there a way to build it from source, then use it to build the
remainder of AspectJ?
Cheers
Jean-NoÃl
