Actually, a better fix just involves setting the CLASSPATH variable in bash. So:
1. First put the following in the script, almost at the end of the file, just before the line that starts with "fop_exec_command": echo $LOCALCLASSPATH exit 0 If you don't write access to the script, copy it to a place you do, and then use this script. 2. Run the script with fop > path.txt 3. Open up path.txt, and fix the start of the line. Change C:/ava to C:/cygwin/java Your fix may be different. Look for the pattern that is truncated, and fix that. 4. Open up .bashrc and put the following in export CLASSPATH=<fixed text from path.txt> Of course, paste in your fixed text for the <fixed text from path.txt> Get rid of the echo and exit commands in the fop script. >From the shell, type bash to invoke the new variable. (You'll only have to do this once; every time you open up a cygwin bash shell from then on, the variable will be there.) Now you can run fop in the usual way. Note that it is my understanding that setting a universal classpath like this can cause problems if you run other java applications, since it will overwrite those classpaths. If you suddenly find that your other java applications don't run correctly, then instead of putting the classpath in .basrc, change the fop script itself. In the same place as the exit 0 statement was, put LOCALCLASSPATH=<fixed text from path.txt> I hope that helps anyone else stumbling across this problem. In the mean time, I'll try to see if I can't get the bug fixed with the cygpath command. Paul > On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 8:52 AM, Paul Tremblay <[email protected]>wrote: > I figured it out.
