beginner problem installing forrest on windows

Hello,

I am trying to install forrest on windows but I am stuck.
I put the binary version in C:\forrest, I unziped fresh-site.zip in this
folder. I run Apache 2.0 on Windows. I added the environment variables
for Forrest and J2DK, correctly, I think.

I got the following error when typing "forrest" in the comand window.
(although I am not sure what this command is for)
----------------------------------
Apache Forrest. Run 'forrest _projecthelp' to list options

Buildfile: C:\forrest\forrest.build.xml

BUILD FAILED
Basedir C:\forrst\ant\lib\" -Dproject.home C:" does not exist

Total time: 0 seconds
------------------------------------


If I type : C:\forrest -projecthelp
I got :
-------------------------------------
Apache Forrest. Run 'forrest _projecthelp' to list options

Buildfile: C:\forrest\forrest.build.xml
-------------------------------------
(that's all)


If someone Can help the beginner who I am, on these obvious basic steps
it would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Thomas

Re: beginner problem installing forrest on windows [In reply to]

Hi,

did you seed the project ?
type 'forrest seed'

This is required to start a new forrest.
You will then build the project by just typing
'forrest'

Hope it helped...

Re: beginner problem installing forrest on windows [In reply to]

Hi,

I am not a programer and I try to install forrest, but it does not work,
if someone could help it would be very appreciated!

When I try to build forrest from the source (in Windows), I type
C:\forrest\build.bat
I get the message :
'Using classpath: ""'
and something like 'the path can not be found'
I think I set the environment variable JAVA_HOME correctly
By the way is it JDK or JRE that we need to run cocoon?

If I double click on build.bat in my forrest source folder it doesn't
built forrest either.

When I try with the binary version I get the following error message
when I type 'forrest or 'forrest seed':

> Buildfile: C:\forrest\forrest.build.xml
>
> BUILD FAILED
> Basedir C:\forrst\ant\lib\" -Dproject.home C:" does
> not exist
>
> Total time: 0 seconds

Sorry to bother you, but I don't know what I have misunderstood or
whatever. A little help would be apprecitaed

Thank you

Thomas

Are you using 0.5.1 or the 0.6-dev from SVN?

Have you followed http://forrest.apache.org/docs/your-project.html
and http://forrest.apache.org/build.html ?

On the commandline, what do you get when you type each of these:
echo %JAVA_HOME%
echo %FORREST_HOME%
echo %PATH%

Re: beginner problem installing forrest on windows [In reply to]

Thank you for your answer,

I was doing the install again on another computer and I got the same
error, deifnitly I missed something. That would be great if you could help.

I answer to your questions :

I use forrest 0.5.1 (could not built the 0.6-dev error message : 'Using
classpath: ""'
'the path can not be found' )
I have followed the instruction pages.

> echo %JAVA_HOME%
give me : C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05
> echo %FORREST_HOME%
C:\forrest
> echo %PATH%
C:\forrest\bin


Thank you again for your advice,

Thomas Benoit

Re: beginner problem installing forrest on windows [In reply to]

You said below that you downloaded the "binary" version of
Forrest-0.5.1 so there is no "source" there for you to build.

Are you sure that you are following the instructions
in section 5.2 of RELEASE-NOTES-0.5.1.txt ?

Well that is the same problem that you are reporting
with both versions of your Forrest installation.
The empty "classpath" is the problem.

Please list the exact steps that you have done:
* Which file you downloaded to obtain Forrest.
* Whether it was a source or binary release.
* Which directory you unpacked it in.
* The command that you used to build/run Forrest.
* The settings for your environment (already shown).
