It's actually much easier to use CYGWIN from Ant than stated in the
documentation with the <exec> task. Here is an example of using Ant to run a
shell script via CYGWIN (be sure the shell script is formatted for unix):
<exec executable="c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe">
<arg value="--login"/>
<arg value="-c"/>
<arg value="/cygdrive/c/BuildDeployScripts/scp_files.sh
${scp.keyfile} ${fileToSCP} ${scp.user} ${scp.remote.host} ${scp.target.dir}"/>
</exec>
Note that all arguments to the script in this case must be on the same <arg> as
the script file or they won't show up as args to the script, but rather, args
to bash. I haven't figured out how to send an argument with spaces in it, but
I'm sure you Ant guru's could tell me. Any help there? I tried 'myScript.sh
"argument with spaces" arg2', but that didn't work. CYGWIN wants spaces
escaped.
Thanks,
Eric
