I am unable to build eXist-db 3.1.1 from source. The build.sh script says my JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set. I believe I am following the instructions here:
http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/building.xml

Which says "Before starting the build, your JAVA_HOME environment variable should be set to point to the root directory of the JAVA JDK (note: JDK, not JRE!).”

According to the Oracle Java documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/linux/jdkfiles.html

It says jdk1.8.0_65 is "Root directory of the JDK software installation”.

So, am I correct in setting JAVA_HOME to /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_65?

echo $JAVA_HOME

I get the following:
/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_65

However, the build still fails (see below).

How do I get the build.sh script to see my JAVA_HOME environment variable? What am I doing wrong?

How do I prepend JAVA_HOME if I am running it from command line?

I am running Amazon Linux.

Another piece of information I would like to add is, I have eXist-db 3.0 RC1 source code in another folder and I am able to build that source code even though I am getting the JAVA_HOME warning.

Is the new build.sh script more strict about the JAVA_HOME environment variable or is it something else that could be causing this issue.

Also, I notice you used `sudo` to build eXist. This is unnecessary and
explains why you had the problem with the JAVA_HOME environment variable;
user account environment variables aren't passed to sudo processes, unless
you go through some rather onerous contortions to allow them through.

Hi Nick,

Ah, well, if it works with sudo (after Dmitriy's suggestion) but not
without sudo, then by all means, stick with the successful route via
sudo!

It's been a while since I set up a machine on EC2, and I can't seem to
find documentation for how we are doing it now. We're also using
Amazon Linux, but there are a number of ways to install the Java JDK,
and without knowing your method and what our current method is, I
can't give you any good advice. Maybe others here can. But then
again, if you're up and running using `sudo build.sh`, then you're
really all set.

Joe

Hi Joe,
Starting Ant...
/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java
Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher
But when I type 'sudo ./build.sh’ it successfully builds now that I have
applied the patch that Dmitriy suggested.
I ssh into my AWS EC2 instance as ec2-user. Is there a way of running the
build.sh command that will work better?
