Is there any specific reason why you are launching ant from cygwin?
ant can also perfectly be launched from a normal DOS shell with the
ant.bat file.
  
I use cygwin 'cause DOS doesn't have emacs style command line editing; among other things.
  
and link. What I can't figure out is how to modify build.xml so that I
can control what gets passed to the compiler and to see the ouput from
the compiler when I give it the wrong thing; you know a log file.
    

You can increase ant verbosity by passing the "-v" option to ant.
The cpptasks then also print the complete command line which is
used to launch external programs like the compiler and the linker,
including the passed options.
  
Excellent. Things are progressing nicely now.

thanks Andreas
