Hi,

Thanks to everyone, everything works fine now.

I used the following syntax:

<exec dir=3D"C:\CVS_DB\WE" executable=3D"NMAKE.EXE">
   <arg line=3D"/f &quot;WE.mak&quot; CFG=3D&quot;WE - Win32
Release&quot;"/>
</exec>

  Sameh

Here are some examples using quot and colon, as I used in the past,
while playing with cpptasks.jar and ant-contrib.jar to automate the
MSDEV Visua Studion .NET c++ builds using the Ant, to make it
platform-independent.

Following below constructs arguments as /YX"stdafx.h" /MACHINE:X86 etc
Note: (A) "#58;" stands for ":" and (B) "&quot;" stands for ";"

<compilerarg location=3D"mid" value=3D"/YX&quot;stdafx.h&quot;"
if=3D"is-windows"/>

<compilerarg location=3D"mid" value=3D"/Fo&quot;${obj_type.dir}&quot;"
if=3D"is-windows"/>

<linkerarg location=3D"mid" value=3D"/MACHINE&#58;X86" =
if=3D"is-windows"/>
