Running Cygwin bash from Ant script
Hi folks! In my Ant script I have a target which should 1. Start the Cygwin bash, 2. Change the current directory, and 3. Execute a command. I have done this previously using the windows console, but now I want to do the same with the Cygwin bash. My Ant target looked like this: project name=xyz basedir=. target name=build exec dir=. executable=cmd.exe arg line=/c make/ /exec /target /project I tried this, but it didn't work: project name=xyz basedir=. target name=build exec dir=. executable=C:\Program Files\cygwin\bin\bash arg line= --login -i -c cd /cygdrive/c/ someFolderToBeTheCurrentDir/; make/ /exec /target /project Any ideas?

In the line: exec dir=. executable=C:\Program Files\cygwin\bin \bash Can I use a path other than C:\... so that in case the Cygwin installation is elsewhere the bash executable is found, as well? Well, that's an AutoIt question, not a cygwin question, but I suspect the answer you're looking for is Yes, you can put any path there, or if the cygwin bin dir is already in the PATH setting for the machine you could just put bash there on its own. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
