I've tested 1.9.7 with the above change to the ant wrapper script (I've copy pasted the "raw" version of the merge to 1.9.x of the above pull request) on Solaris 11, but it doesn't work. Not with esc_tool=sed and neither with esc_tool=awk. It's easy to test by simply executing "ant -version". See the output below: [[[ bash-4.1> uname -a SunOS hostname-redacted 5.11 11.3 i86pc i386 i86pc bash-4.1> ./ant.new -version ### with esc_tool=sed Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed bash-4.1> vi ant.new ### change line 25 to esc_tool=awk bash-4.1> ./ant.new -version awk: syntax error near line 1 awk: illegal statement near line 1 awk: syntax error near line 1 awk: illegal statement near line 1 awk: syntax error near line 1 awk: illegal statement near line 1 awk: syntax error near line 1 awk: illegal statement near line 1 Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed ]]] I don't understand the sed command (I'm not much of a sed expert), but I understand why the awk command fails: on Solaris "awk" really is the "old awk", without the "new awk" extensions added in 1984 or so. This means "gsub" is not available in "awk" on Solaris. To use gsub, you have to invoke "nawk" on Solaris. So if you want the awk variant to work on Solaris, you either have to do it without gsub, or use nawk as executable (but I guess nawk won't work on some other unix platforms). It would probably be easier to make the sed statement work, but I have to experiment a bit with that. -- Johan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ant.apache.org
