>From the manual: "When no arguments are specified, Ant looks for a build.xml file in the current directory and, if found, uses that file as the build file and runs the target specified in the default attribute of the <project> tag."
In the 'Running Ant' section... You can also tell ant to use a different build file by using '-buildfile' Example: ant -buildfile test-build.xml HTH Mel Riffe -----Original Message----- From: Brian Egger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 11:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: build xml? Ok I suppose this is probably a frequent newbie question. Which I am a newbie to ant, but I try to run Ant on Win 2000. I have the classpath set for the ant.jar and I also have it set for the xml-xxxx.jar. Ant I have the path and all of the enviroment variables set to the correct paths. But when I go to run ant, I receive an error upon entering the command "Buildfile: build.xml does not exist; Bulid Failed" Where should I put the xml file or what am I missing here. btw, I did STFW and RTFM, but I saw no refernece to the bulid.xml thanks Brian Egger , [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************** The information transmitted herewith is sensitive information intended only for use by the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
