- what directory is Ant executing the command in? Is it the
same as from the command line?
I've already checked this one.
- How is Ant passing the command line args? Is it the same as the
shell would?
I've tried both methods i.e. like the following:
<arg value="-B"/>
<arg value="-f"/>
<arg value="psbase.mak"/>
Either way, I get the same result.
- Are there any environment variable that are missing when run
through Ant? There should not be, but you never know.
As for the environment variables, the documentation for "emake" is lacking,
but it doesn't mention anything about environment variables, so I'm not
entirely sure. I've contacted support for EurekaLog, but they simply told
me they haven't heard of this issue as of yet.
Is there anything else this could be?

When I run into this, I generally look at 3 things:
- what directory is Ant executing the command in? Is it the
same as from the command line?
- How is Ant passing the command line args? Is it the same as the
shell would?
- Are there any environment variable that are missing when run
through Ant? There should not be, but you never know.
The first two can be determined by running your Ant build script with
the -d (for debug) command line option. That will tell you exactly
what command Ant is executing under the hood.
As a side note, I generally prefer to break up args into individual
elements so there is no change of them being mis-parsed. So:
<arg line="-B -f psbase.mak"/>
would be
<arg value="-B"/>
<arg value="-f"/>
<arg value="psbase.mak"/>
but that's just a personal paranoia.
