It's actually much easier to use CYGWIN from Ant than stated in the documentation with the
<exec> task. Here is an example of using Ant to run a shell script via CYGWIN (be
sure the shell script is formatted for unix):
<exec executable="c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe">
<arg value="--login"/>
<arg value="-c"/>
<arg value="/cygdrive/c/BuildDeployScripts/scp_files.sh
${scp.keyfile} ${fileToSCP} ${scp.user} ${scp.remote.host} ${scp.target.dir}"/>
</exec>
Note that all arguments to the script in this case must be on the same <arg> as the
script file or they won't show up as args to the script, but rather, args to bash. I haven't
figured out how to send an argument with spaces in it, but I'm sure you Ant guru's could tell
me. Any help there? I tried 'myScript.sh "argument with spaces" arg2', but that didn't
work. CYGWIN wants spaces escaped.
Thanks,
Eric
