Building CouchDB 1.6.x branch with OTP-17.1 Error

[dalgibbard]

Hey all,
Just a quick one; whilst attempting to build out CouchDB 1.6.x branch with Erlang OTP-17.1 branch (explicitly) on CentOS6.5 x86_64- using the following:

rake erl_checkout="OTP-17.1" \
git="https://github.com/apache/couchdb.git 1.6.x" \
install=${INSTPRE}

I get the following error (slimmed down!):

Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /home/vagrant/build-couchdb/dependencies/otp/lib/appmon/SKIP

Fairly sure this error also gets generated for 'dependancies/otp/lib/toolbars/SKIP' too.

Hello,

I fixed it in my otp-fix branch.
So you can clone it and use:

git clone -b otp-fix git://github.com/zpetr/build-couchdb.git
cd build-couchdb
git submodule init
git submodule update

I just check if libraries exists before any parsing so now it works fine.
Pull request was created.

Dir.exists? seems to cause an error on my base CentOS 6.5 x86_64 build with ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352):

Which ruby/rake version did you validate against? I'll update ruby now anyway, and retest.

[zpetr]

Ah, I use ruby 1.9.3 and Dir.exists is not defined in Ruby 1.8.*
I will replace Dir.exists with File.directory for Ruby compatibility

[dalgibbard]

Cool; i'll wait for that and test once it's available :) thanks for your help!

[zpetr]

You can test it!

git clone -b otp-fix git://github.com/zpetr/build-couchdb.git
cd build-couchdb
git submodule init
git submodule update
rake erl_checkout="OTP-17.1"

[zpetr]

I'm sorry, OTP-17.1 is not a branch name but a tag name.
So use:

rake erl_checkout="tags/OTP-17.1"

[dalgibbard]

Really? I used:

export INSTPRE=/opt/couchdb
sudo mkdir $INSTPRE
####
sudo rake erl_checkout="OTP-17.1" \
git="https://github.com/apache/couchdb.git 1.6.x" \
install=${INSTPRE}

... and it built fine :) Yay!

@jhs - This should be merged 👍

[zpetr]

Just for information:
if you interested you can use my puppet-couchdb module (sources here). This module is based on jhs/build-couchdb build.
I'll create new version of module with this fix.
