Unable to access jarfile ANTLR_JAR_PATH-NOTFOUND while building mysql-workbench from source

Question

I am trying to build the mysql-workbench from source.I followed these steps given in INSTALL file.

Steps:

1- $> cd wb-build

2- $> cmake ..

3- $> make -j4

4- $> sudo make install

Note about ANTLR:

ANTLR 4.7 is required to generate the files for the MySQL Parser. Download antlr-4.7.2-complete.jar from http://www.antlr.org/download.html. Then you'll need to pass it as cmake argument: -DWITH_ANTLR_JAR=path_to_your_antlr_complete_file

NOTE: I have downloaded the Antlr-4.7.2-complete.jar file in my /root/Downloads/

Where should i put it.

It would appear your CMake did not completely find the ANTLR_JAR_PATH, can you please provide the **full** CMake log in your question post. Can you also provide the steps you are following to build this? Perhaps a tutorial? Where did you download the source? — Kevin, Mar 20 '20 at 22:20
Note: it is **not** necessary that you generate the parser/lexer files, as they are part of the repository. Only if you want to **re-generate** them (e.g. because you changed the grammars) then you also have to run ANTLR. I know the (re)generation is part of the build project, but as a start you can comment that out as you already have the generated files. — Mike Lischke, Mar 21 '20 at 09:02
Could you please tell me in which file i need to comment out the Antlr. Regards — , Mar 21 '20 at 11:33

I had the same problem. The sollution for me (it's partly described in INSTALL file):

Add wb-build folder
Open wb-build folder and run cmake command.

cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr] ..

Check which version is need to compile (as You can see is 4.9.1).

WITH_ANTLR_JAR: CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:161 (message): antlr-4.9.1-complete.jar or java runtime wasn't found which is required if you'd like to rebuild Lexer and Parser files

Download from https://www.antlr.org/download/antlr-4.9.1-complete.jar
Add path to antlr-4.9.1 file to cmake

cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DWITH_ANTLR_JAR=path_to_your_antlr_complete_file] .. 6. If path and version is ok it should be: Found unixodbc, using it as ODBC library. WITH_ANTLR_JAR: /tmp/antlr-4.9.1-complete.jar] -- ANTLR jar: /tmp/antlr-4.9.1-complete.jar 7. Then make (it takes about 30 min.) and make install (or sudo make install)

Tip: I saw its better to run make on one CPU core. If I used many cores (-j FLAG) there were many errors, and compilation was stopped every time.
