Fetch TFS labels from Linux machine

Question

Hi

I read this post: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/tfsadmin/thread/35810d45-bd29-45a4-827c-e9db337d49dd on how to connect to TFS from a Linux machine.

Did the same steps per the instructions for Cmd line .zip to work.

Getting the following error when I run "tf" and enter:

[giga_admin@somelinuxmachine TEE-CLC-10.0.0]$ tf
/home/giga/TEE-CLC-10.0.0/tf: line 133: exec: java: not found

$PATH variable is already set/exported to use /home/giga/TEE-CLC-10.0.0 in it.

Now, I thought, I need java, but there's a ./lib folder under that TEE... folder so I think "tf" should work without giving an error.

Line#133 in "tf" script is (it's a single line continued to next line using \ character - a BASH scripting thing for continuing code on a new line for the same line).

exec java -Xmx512M -classpath "$CLC_CLASSPATH" \
        "-Dcom.microsoft.tfs.jni.native.base-directory=$BASE_DIRECTORY/native" \
        $RANDOM_DEVICE_PROPERTY com.microsoft.tfs.client.clc.vc.Main "$@"

I'll look into this later, if someone is quicker, pls advise. thanks.

Hi Arun,

I am moving your case to the Team Foundation Server - Eclipse and Cross Platform forum so that you can get better support there.

Thanks.

It appears that you don't have a Java runtime installed.  You'll need to install a supported Java runtime to use Team Explorer Everywhere.  The TEE download page lists the supported runtimes in the System Requirements section.

I also strongly recommend using the SP1 release of the product (10.1.0), as it includes many fixes and some new features.
