issue with the GeoExt Build while migrating from 3.X to 4.X

[sid_universe]

Hello Guys

We are migrating our application from GeoExt 0.7 to 2.0 and ExtJS to 3.3.0 to 4.1.0.
We downloaded the 2.1.0 from the Sencha link however I see there is no build folder available so copied it from the 0.7 folder which was already with us.

When we try to build 2.0 we found that its not working at all. When we compared tGeoExt 0.7 and 2.0 we come to know that the directory stucture is totally changed and may be becouse of that the old build script is not working with the newer version.

It would be great help if any body has any idea abt the new build script for the new frame work that is GeoExt 2.0

Regards
Sid

As you found out, copying the older files is futile.
Have you tried to contact anyone from GeoExt in the meantime?

Hi Scott

Thanks for your reply.
We haven't contected anyone from GeoExt so far.

Kindly let me know if the build script is available somewhere for the new framework, or atleast what changes we should make so that it run properly.

Hi

We are still trying to find the fix as problem is not resolved yet.

However we checked that the GeoExt 2.0 build script is working with ExtJS 3.3.0 but when we changed the reference to ExtJs 4.1.0 it doesn't work.

We are getting below error.

../lib GeoExt/slider/Zoom.js
../lib GeoExt/slider/LayerOpacity.js

I understand your problem, but the immediate problem seems to be the GeoExt seems to be not compatible with ExtJS4. You will need to contact them and find out if they plan to support ExtJS4 directly.

We checked with GeoExt and its compatible with ExtJs 4.1.0

[scottmartin]

Where is the link for the 4.1 compatible version.

I appreciate your information, but I would still like the result of you asking GeoExt about this error since they are responsible for this product.

From your original post, I gather the build is where it is falling apart, and it seems to be related to loading 3rd party code from the list of error files. Have you tried creating a simple build project and see of it works, then slowly adding items that exist in your build file to see what is causing this?

Hopefully someone with experience with this product can jump in and help.

Scott
