             Bug #: 51327
           Summary: fop.bat, fop.cmd, ... should have svn:executable
                    property in SVN ?
           Product: Fop
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
        ReportedBy: wme...@newsguy.com
    Classification: Unclassified


After installing fop-1.0 (to upgrade from fop-0.95) and then running Visual C
nmake which then invokes fop.bat, I got the following message:

   c:\...\fop-1.0\fop.bat ... ...
NMAKE : fatal error U1045: spawn failed : No error


Windows 7; MSVC 9 (2008); 
fop-1.0 installed from fop-1.0-bin.zip using:
UnZip 6.00 of 20 April 2009, by Cygwin. Original by Info-ZIP.

A bit of poking around on the web suggested a permissions problem.

I don't really understand how to use Windows7 tools to view/change file
permissions so I just used cygwin 'ls' and found that fop.bat wasn't marked as
executable (according to cygwin 'ls').

So: I tried a different unzip (Winzip) to install fop-1.0 again (after removing
the first install) and found that that fop.bat was then magically marked as
executable; invoking fop.bat via nmake worked AOK.

I don't understand all that goes on behind the scenes but I'm guessing that
setting the svn:executable property for the Windows .bat & .cmd files in the
SVN repository might be the right way to go.
