Compilation FAQ

Problems (and their solutions) that people often have compiling ADempiere.

• Remember to add "execute" permission to all the shell scripts before you start!

Run the following command from the directory above the Adempiere directory to convert all shell script files.

find Adempiere -name *.sh -exec chmod +x "{}" \;

Thanks to "DeathMeat" on Freenode #adempiere for that.

• Errors running standard unix shell scripts

The standard unix shell scripts were created on a dos/windows platform and contain special characters that are incompatible with unix and which can cause strange errors when you run the scripts. The common dos2unix utility will correct this problem. Running the following command from the directory above the Adempiere install directory should fix this

find Adempiere -name *.sh -exec dos2unix -d "{}" \;

Thanks again to DeathMeat from freenode #adepiere for that.

In addition to the shell scripts (i.e. *.sh files) you may also need to run this utility (dos2unix) against the file Adempiere/jboss/bin/run.conf.

• OutOfMemoryError when running the ant build

Allow the ant Process to use more (heap) memory. One way of doing this is by setting the ANT_OPTS environment variable. Example for Windows:

set ANT_OPT=-Xmx256M
