http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7046 Exec doesn't find correct path if using nested ant files. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-03-13 18:02 ------- Apperantly this is not just a bug, but also a lot of confusion :-) Let me try to explain once more (hopefully I'm am now making sense) -I want to invoke an external program during build process (IRL idlj, here ls.exe to avoid the path problem) -I do not want to use just any idlj, from anyone's path but I want to point to a specific (checked-in) version controlled version. -I use a relative path to this file, since it is not in my path -This seems to work fine while building the subproject -This fails to work if build from the toplevel apperently there is a resolution; to use cmd.exe /c to invoke the ls.exe/idlj.exe file. Maybe this is not a real bug but just undocumented behaviour? However it would seem that if you use a relative path in a buildfile, this is relative to THAT buildfile and not to the buildfile that was called by the user. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
