Thanks Martin! If I had my choice I'd be running all of my builds from unix. All of it is deployed to unix. Unfortunately we're using this obtuse application called Versata that not only forces us to build in winders, but it doesn't support win2k3, only xp. I don't think it would survive cygwin...

(at least you would have the same JVM and classloader) ? Martin ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.

Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 08:26:50 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: Calling CYGWIN from ANT via EXEC To: [email protected] 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 _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
