Re: [GUSDEV] windows

Hi Chris,

I took a quick stab at this, using Cygwin, and basically found that one 
would need to change the ant build.xml files to use arch-independent 
paths (I think there is an ant tag for specifying this, but no promises 
about that) and change the build.pl script query for the architecture 
and OS and then use a properly formatted system call to ant.

I made some progress, but gave up after an afternoon, since I had much 
higher priorities than this. Unfortunately it looks like I overwrote my 
work so I can't attach the changes that I had made, but there are two 
things that put me on the right path. One was an undocumented arg to 
build "returnErrStatus" and the other was uncommenting line 41 in 
build.pl to see what the actual ant system call was:

$ build  GUS install -append -returnErrStatus

ant -f /home/angel/project_home/GUS/project_home/install/build.xml 
install -lib /home/angel/project_home/GUS/project_home/install/config 
-Dproj=GUS -DtargetDir=/home/angel/project_home/GUS/gus_home -Dcomp= 
-DgusConfigFile=/home/angel/project_home/GUS/gus_home/config/gus.config 
-DprojectsDir=/home/angel/project_home/GUS/project_home    
-Dappend=true   -logger org.apache.tools.ant.NoBannerLogger

Buildfile: \home\angel\project_home\GUS\project_home\install\build.xml 
does not exist!
Build failed

So if you can create sensible ant files that will work on both windows 
and unix, and be able to find out how to get the correct path for the 
ant system call, you should be in business! Hope that helps!
