Trying to install Intellij community editon from source code, Centos 7 / have the intellij git repo

Answered

Hello

 

I am very new to intellij.

I am trying to compile the community edition of the IDE.

I am able to create my .spec file and configure it accordingly.

I have all the packages I need installed on my Linux box. Ant, rpm-build and the correct version of the Java.

Everything seems to go well until the end of the install. I get an error stating that the Windows.exe and wizard could not be compiled and that there was an error on line 48 of the build.xml file. I only require the Linux tarball for my install. Is there a way to remove the Windows and Mac portion of the install build?

I've tried installing from the CLI and that works sometimes. I have put the the commands into a shell script and if I run the script once it fails, I run it again and it installs correctly.

Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

Could you please describe your use-case for building IntelliJ IDEA from sources? Why installing already compiled application is not an option for you?
