Re: Building Soot from Subversion

[Chris Pickett <chris.pickett@mail.mcgill.ca>]

Hi Ondrej,

So, I'm having a rough time trying to build Soot r1702 on tofu.  The 
error messages I get (I seem to get one or the other) and my 
ant.settings follow.  If there's an easy way not to build the things I 
won't use, I would love to know about it (and in general I'd like to put 
in a request for the modularization of Soot for the next release).  I'm 
using jasminclasses, jedd-runtime, and jedd-translator from your nightly 
builds (I was previously using the non-nightlies but that wasn't working 
either).  All dependences are there AFAICT.

Thanks,
Chris
