The VSS tasks call the external binaries that are installed with VSS. This is from the MSVSS.java file...
* A base class for creating tasks for executing commands on Visual SourceSafe. * <p> * The class extends the 'exec' task as it operates by executing the ss.exe program * supplied with SourceSafe. By default the task expects ss.exe to be in the path, * you can override this be specifying the ssdir attribute. * </p> Unless there is a source safe binary for linux (not that I know of), I think you are out of luck. -Robert Anderson -----Original Message----- From: Duffey, Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 9:25 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: How to use VSS from script running on linux..? Hi all, I am trying to use our windows based script that connects to our VSS server via the \\server\share name to run it. When I run this script on linux, it give ma a java.io.IOException. I guess it makes sense, but is there any "abstracted" source control API that allows you to get/put/compare/etc with any source control system for Ant? I use the VSS tasks to get, check out, etc, and they work great on windows. Just want to know how I can get them to work the same when running the script on linux.
