Linux startup instructions don't work at all

[dbabits]

1) launch-umongo.sh refers to a file umongo.jar The file is actually called mongo.jar

2)I edited it accordingly, got: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from agirbal-umongo-09a5bba/lib/mongo.jar

[clayzermk1]

This appears to be fixed as of version 1.2.1.

Worked out of the box for me on Debian 6 i686 and 7b4 x86_64. I use Oracle java for both. On 7 it is version:

java version "1.6.0_38"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_38-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.13-b02, mixed mode)

[agirbal]

thanks for the report, sounds like it's fixed

[dbabits]

You must be kidding. Just downloaded the latest version from git

1)$./package/linux/launch-umongo.sh Unable to access jarfile umongo.jar

2)Checked, and AGAIN, the file is called mongo.jar

3)renamed it, still not able to launch. $java -Xms64 -Xmx512 -jar mongo.jar Error occurred during initialization of VM Too small initial heap

$java -jar mongo.jar Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from mongo.jar

4)rm -rf umongo/

[agirbal]

thanks for report. will release new version this week.

@dbabits I think we are going about this different ways. I don't think the mongo.jar file you are referring to is umongo, but the mongodb library itself.

According to the readme:

** Download **

All binaries are available from:
- http://www.edgytech.com/umongo

I just downloaded the latest 1.4.2 linux zip and followed the instructions in the readme. I extracted the zip and ran launch-umongo.sh - no problemo. umongo.jar is in the zip file.

I have not tried compiling the project with netbeans as the readme indicates.

What method of installation are you using? I believe the git repo is just a source repo without binaries since the binaries appear to be hosted separately on the Amazon cloud.

[dbabits]

@clayzermk1, Thanks for your reply.

1)I downloaded from git, not from amazonws which is blocked for me at work. Still, I think git should be the golden copy.

If you look at this file in github, you will see it refers to -jar umongo.jar: https://github.com/agirbal/umongo/blob/master/package/linux/launch-umongo.sh

If you look at lib directory, you will see the file is called mongo.jar: https://github.com/agirbal/umongo/tree/master/lib

Anyway, moving on..let me try and compile it myself..

2) downloaded latest ant from Apache: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi $~/bin/apache-ant-1.9.2/bin/ant Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED /tmp/umongo/nbproject/build-impl.xml:23: Please build using Ant 1.8.0 or higher.

$~/bin/apache-ant-1.9.2/bin/ant -version Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on April 26 2010

???

This is where I have to give up again. Apache ant 1.9 is reporting an incorrect version, while you require 1.8, and Apache archive site is blocked to me, so I can't get an older version.

My suggestion is you make git archive contain binaries as well.

Thank you.

[agirbal]

the binaries are no longer available from git, where did you get the copy? See they deprecated the download service: https://github.com/agirbal/umongo/downloads

You should get it from girbal.net/umongo version 1.4.2

[dbabits]

Thanks agirbal, but I cannot get it from girbal.net/umongo, my previous message explains why

[clayzermk1]

Regarding the umongo.jar, as you can see below, the binary distributions contain it in the root directory. The lib/ directory contains library files, mongo.jar is the MongoDB Java driver. That is not a spelling error or mistake, you should not be renaming that file.

To echo what @agirbal said about the download service, here is the official memo and the current suggestions for binary distribution. It's basically frowned upon by Github (it's not a good idea to put binary files in Git if you can help it).

Regarding this issue: I think that it should be closed; the Linux startup instructions are straight-forward and work.

Regarding your build issues: Have you tried using netbeans as suggested by the README? Not to sound like a jerk, but I think if you have problems building you should open a new issue for that.

** Compile **

Right now, you can only compile the app using the netbeans project, which should be improved soon.

Other thoughts: I presume you'd just like to get a copy of the binary distribution. You should just ask @agirbal, now that you have his attention, if he would be willing to send you a copy via some other means for the time being. (I would do so myself, but there isn't a LICENSE associated with the project, nor is one mentioned on the binary page or in the README. So I don't know if that's ok.)

[dbabits]

thanks. tried using netbeans, it didn't work. @agirbal, If possible, post the download somewhere in code.google.com

Thank you.

Funny, since 2013 still wrong instructions for Linux.....

[dbabits]

Hello, nice to see this message from the time machine. Hope everybody is doing fine :)
