Delved a little deeper (my knowledge of makefiles is almost non-existent!).
Appears that if I call Ant from within a makefile using a batchfile, I don't get
any return code back ie I would have to basically copy all of the ant batchfile
into the makefile to be able to check the return code.
Is this true? Does anyone have any kind of workaround, apart from the build
listener?
Many thanks,
David

Subject: RE: Return code from Ant
I kind of picked up a project from someone else, and they'd set up the following
for the makefile, saying that there is no way to check if Ant failed or not.
Can I change the makefile so a return code is picked up *without* having to use
the listener?
------------------- makefile.mak -----------------------
ANT=ant -listener ErrorCodeGenerator
# run ant
# if ant.err exists after run, build failed.
# force error by dir command of file that doesn't exist
all:
$(ANT)
if exist ant.err dir ThisFileDoesNotExist 2>nul 1>nul
Many thanks,
David

It should do. What problem are you having?
