I've been trying to create a variable for my Java home
(/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10). However, no matter how I
seem to create it, I am not able to use it. I read some threads that
suggest creating a symlink without the space in the path name, but is
that my only option?
What is weird is, I have set "echo on", the path it uses to find
java.exe is correct and if I cut and paste it to the command line, it
works. Here is what I did:
# create variable
export JAVA_HOME='/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10'
echo $JAVA_HOME
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10
"$JAVA_HOME"/bin/java.exe -cp "$CLASSPATH" ....
./test.sh: line 32: /cygdrive/c/Program\
Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/java.exe: No such file or directory
However, when I copy the command and run it interactive, the command
works. I seem to be getting the backslash in the right spot, and it
does work interactively. What else should I do? Should I be adding
more quotes or something? Any idea what I am doing wrong?
thanks,
Jerome
