what if you do:
<try>
...
<catch>
<echo...>
</catch>
</try>
not sure if this is valid syntax, but seems to work in most cases for me
(although I am not doing nested make calls at this time sorry).
the only other thing I would think that it is would be a possible bug in
try/catch.

Subject: trycatch and recursive make
Hi,
As a part of our build process we are exec'ing a call to make ... which,
in turn, calls make, which in turn calls make ... etc, etc, etc.
If the initial call to make from the build.xml fails trycatch catches
the error and echos the correct message. If, however, make fails
several levels down, trycatch doesn't return the "catch" message.
Is there anyway to capture these errors from exec?
Here's the build.xml snippet:
<target name="csrc" depends="init">
<trycatch>
<try>
<exec executable="make" dir="${csrcDir}" resultproperty="result" >
<arg line="-f Makefile.sun CSRC_ROOT=${csrcDir}
AGENT_ROOT=${basedir}"/>
</exec>
</try>
<catch>
<echo>CAUGHT MAKE FAILURE</echo>
</catch>
</trycatch>
</target>
The output if the exec of make fails immediately is the following:
csrc:
[exec] make: Makefile: No such file or directory
[exec] make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
[trycatch] Caught exception: exec returned: 2
[echo] CAUGHT MAKE FAILURE
[echo] Resultproperty is: 0
If a failure occurs deeper down in the make structure all I get is the
following:
csrc:
[exec] make[1]: Entering directory
`/var/AccuRev_ws/marwks33_oriole_Plat_Int/agent/csrc/uagent/src'
[exec] make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory
[exec] make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
[exec] make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/AccuRev_ws/marwks33_oriole_Plat_Int/agent/csrc/uagent/src'
[exec] make[1]: Entering directory
`/var/AccuRev_ws/marwks33_oriole_Plat_Int/agent/csrc/arp/server'
[exec] make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory
[exec] make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/AccuRev_ws/marwks33_oriole_Plat_Int/agent/csrc/arp/server'
[exec] make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
[echo] Resultproperty is: 0
Thanks for any help.
Nolan
