The -v option is equivalent of -verbose option. See Command-line Options Summary share|improve this answer edited Sep 23 '11 at 12:44 answered Sep 23 '11 at 12:37 Alex K 13.9k115977 add a comment| up vote 12 down vote If I understand correctly, you assumed that -v is the "print version" command. Check the documentation, that is not the case -- instead ant -v is running ant build in verbose mode. So ant is trying to perform your build, based on the build.xml file, which is obviously not there. To answer your question explicitly: there is probably nothing wrong with both the system nor ant installation. share|improve this answer edited Jan 31 '12 at 0:25 answered Sep 23 '11 at 11:56 triazotan 1,5471229 add a comment| up vote 2 down vote You have invoked Ant with the verbose (-v) mode but the default buildfile build.xml does not exist. Nor have you specified any other buildfile for it to use. I would say your Ant installation is fine. share|improve this answer edi
See Binary Edition for details. Uncompress the downloaded file into a directory. Set environmental variables JAVA_HOME to your Java environment, ANT_HOME to the directory you uncompressed Ant to, and add ${ANT_HOME}/bin (Unix) or %ANT_HOME%/bin
Install Ant Mac
(Windows) to your PATH. See Setup for details. Optionally, from the ANT_HOME directory run
Download Ant
ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=system to get the library dependencies of most of the Ant tasks that require them. If you don't do build.xml does not exist cordova this, many of the dependent Ant tasks will not be available. See Optional Tasks for details and other options for the -Ddest parameter. Optionally, add any desired Antlibs. See Ant Libraries for a list. Note that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7528517/ant-build-xml-file-doesnt-exist the links in the list above will give more details about each of the steps, should you need them. Or you can just continue reading the rest of this document. The short story for working with the Ant source code (not needed if you are working with the binary edition) is: Get the source code. See Source Edition for details. Build Ant. See Building Ant for details. For the full story, continue http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html reading. Binary Edition The latest stable version of Ant is available from the Ant web page http://ant.apache.org/ The binary edition of Ant is shipped with 3 different compression formats: .zip - Recommended compression format for Windows, can also be used on other platforms. Supported by many programs and some operating systems natively. .tar.gz - Uses the tar program to gather files together, and gzip to compress and uncompress. .tar.bz2 - Uses the tar program to gather files together, and bzip2 to compress and uncompress.. Choose the format that is best supported for your platform. As a binary in an RPM Package Consult the jpackage section below. Bundled in IDEs All the main Java IDEs ship with Ant, products such as Eclipse, NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA. If you install Ant this way you usually get the most recent release of Ant at the time the IDE was released. Some of the IDEs (Eclipse and NetBeans in particular) ship with extra tasks that only work if IDE-specific tools are on Ant's path. To use these on command-line versions of Ant, the relevant JARs need to be added to the command-line Ant as extra libraries/tasks. Note that if it is an IDE task or extension that is not behaving, the Ant team is unable to field bug repo
