The apache-ant Portfile 57375 2009-09-10 08:16:41Z ryandesign macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: apache-ant
Version: 1.7.1
Category: devel java
Maintainers: openmaintainer jberry
Description: Java opensource build system
Long Description: Ant is a Java based build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without make's wrinkles. Ant uses XML build files that define a set of targets. Each target has dependencies (other targets) and contains a set of tasks to perform.

# Ant is installed from the binary (jar) distribution by default. Due to
# bootstrapping issues, the source variant generally doesn't build a very
# usable ant: the ant tasks (such as junit) are non-functional as their
# dependent support isn't available when ant is built, due to circular
# dependencies back to ant.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/apache-ant
%  sudo port install apache-ant  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching apache-ant
--->  Verifying checksum for apache-ant
--->  Extracting apache-ant
--->  Configuring apache-ant
--->  Building apache-ant with target all

--->  Staging apache-ant into destroot

--->  Installing apache-ant

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using apache-ant with these commands:

%  man apache-ant
%  apropos apache-ant
%  which apache-ant
%  locate apache-ant
