Hi,

I'm doing headless build of 3.4.1 sources on linux to produce Windows and
Linux archives. I got the builds generated with p2 metadata, but I'm
having a bit problem running p2 director on the builds. I saw the document
at
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html
and tried using something similar to the example for Installing a Complete
Product but got an error. Here is what I have. Can someone tell me what
I'm missing or what the proper command line to use is on linux?

/eclipse/eclipse -noSplash -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application -metadataRepository
../repo -artifactRepository ../repo -installIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide
-destination ./eclipse_p2 -profile SDKProfile -profileProperties
org.eclipse.update.install.features=true -bundlepool ./eclipse_p2 -p2.os
linux -p2.ws gtk -p2.arch x86 -roaming -vmargs
-Declipse.p2.data.area=./eclipse_p2/p2

** (:27620): CRITICAL **: file pangoxft-fontmap.c: line 185
(pango_xft_get_font_map): assertion `display != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Eirene

Hi,

I got past this stage, now I got a message saying Install Unit
org.eclipse.sdk.ide is not found.

Any pointers?

Appreciate the help as always.

I expect that 'org.eclipse.sdk.ide' does not exist in your repository.
I don't know how you built your metadata, but in the normal SDK build in
happens in 2 parts.
The first part generates metadata for all the plugins and features, I
expect this is similar to what you have.
The second part generates metadata for the products,
(org.eclipse.sdk.ide is the main sdk product). I expect you are missing
this.
In the SDK build this is done by running the packager using a .product file.
Look at
org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/buildAll.xml#packageEclips eDistributables
from CVS.
