Re: [NAnt-users] Help with property needed

[Gert D. <ger...@te...>]

Hi Johannes,

(not replying inline: I wish Outlook would be more smart when it comes to
properly indenting the original message)

You'd actually use it like this:

<path id="antldr.classpath" >
	<pathelement
file="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-v3.x.jar')}" />
	<pathelement
file="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'stringtemplate-v3.x.jar')}" />
	<pathelement
file="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-v3.x.jar')}" />
</path>

<exec program="javac">
	<arg value="-cp" />
	<arg>
		<path refid="antldr.classpath" />
	</arg>
</exec>

Or you can use it inline:

<exec program="javac">
	<arg value="-cp" />
	<arg>
		<path>
			<pathelement
file="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-v3.x.jar')}" />
			<pathelement
file="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'stringtemplate-v3.x.jar')}" />
			<pathelement
file="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-v3.x.jar')}" />
		</path>
	</arg>
</exec>

Note:

You use the "path" attribute of <pathelement> if you want to include an
existing PATH-like string (eg. the value of the CLASSPATH environment
variable).

Hope this helps,

Gert

Thanks, the latter is certainly more general.

I have the following property (new lines before the $ inserted for better
formatting):

<property name="antlr.classpath"
value="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-v3.x.jar')}
${java.classpath.separator}
${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'stringtemplate-v3.x.jar')}
${java.classpath.separator}
${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-2.7.7.jar')}"/>

"${java.classpath.separator}" replaced ";" which doesn't work on Linux.
As I don't want different build files for each platform I require a way to
select the right separator.

I didn't know that there is a <path>-element. Unfortunately, I can't find a
use case for this. How do I reference this:

<path id="classpath-includes" >
	<pathelement
path="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-v3.x.jar')}" />
	<pathelement
path="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'stringtemplate-v3.x.jar')}" />
	<pathelement
path="${path::combine(sharedlibs.dir,'antlr-v3.x.jar')}" /> </path>

Thanks again!
Johannes
