Build failed

[DeniRibicic]

Hi Folks,
I am not able to build rdpTools.
I have just followed installation procedure:

1. git clone https://github.com/rdpstaff/RDPTools.git
2. cd RDPTools
3. git submodule init
4. git submodule update
5. make

Here the build fails, throwing following error:

BUILD FAILED

Any clues?

which java are you using

[DeniRibicic]

It's version 9.
I actually needed only classifier, and I have installed it through anaconda. So, I am okay now.
However, the whole tools installation as specified in your repository still remains a problem.

I just tried to install RDPTools. Replacing ant -f with ant -D"javac.source"=1.6 -D"javac.target"=1.6 in the Makefile seems to compile. However, the installation aborts since it cannot fetch the traindata data.tgz (I guess issue #16).
It manages to compile ReadSeq and AlignmentTools.
java -jar "ReadSeq/dist/ReadSeq.jar" OK
java -jar "AlignmentTools/dist/AlignmentTools.jar" OK

However, despite the following message

     [echo] To run this application from the command line without Ant, try:
     [echo] java -jar "/home/jan/build/RDPTools/TaxonomyTree/dist/TaxonomyTree.jar"

TaxonomyTree.jar fails:

 java -jar "java -jar "TaxonomyTree/dist/TaxonomyTree.jar"AlignmentTools/dist/AlignmentTools.jar"
Error: Unable to access jarfile java -jar TaxonomyTree/dist/TaxonomyTree.jarAlignmentTools/dist/AlignmentTools.jar

Hope this helps.

currently I managed to solve part of the RDPtools error when compiling. @janpb suggestion was massively helpful, however I had to keep the -f option otherwise it couldn't find the build.xml file.
My Makefile now looks like this ant -D"javac.source"-1.6 -D"javac.target"=1.6 -f

The Makefile in this way seems to work fine for me, however I encountered another issue further down in the post-jar process of the TaxonomyTree. When downloading the traindata, the build seem to fail, as others already experienced, due to "java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream" (issue #16)

Hope it helps.

I just want to do my part and try to help out the next person who has the issue with the error [Clustering/dist/Clustering.jar] Error 1 while trying to install RDPTools.

Turns out, the version of apache-ant is critical for installation. Successful installation requires apache-ant-1.9.x and will not work with apache-ant-1.10.x

[lotrus28]

As noted in this issue, installing JDK 7 solves the problem. At least, it has solved mine.
That is a bit confusing, as in another issue moving to JDK 8 was recommended.

Bumping this issue to say that I was using java-11 and had to switch to 8 for install to work on ubuntu
