Oleg Sivokon commented on FLEX-38: ---------------------------------- Funny, it could be actually possible to extract it on Windows using this: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm it provides BSD license and is possible to download and run from Ant. On *nix the below seems to do exactly the same what the old code used to do, w/o opening yet another shell: <target name="prepare" depends="airsdk-download" description="Prepares for building framework SWCs"> <exec executable="tar"> <arg value="-xjf"/> <arg value="${FLEX_HOME}/in/air/mac/AIR Integration Kit.tbz2"/> </exec> <!-- Expand the Win AIK on top of the SDK --> <unzip src="${FLEX_HOME}/in/air/win/AIR Integration Kit.zip" dest="${FLEX_HOME}"/> . . . But then again, is this really needed on Windows? > Build script requires sh on Windows > ----------------------------------- > > Key: FLEX-38 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-38 > Project: Apache Flex > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: Windows > Reporter: Oleg Sivokon > Assignee: Carol Frampton > Labels: Build,Ant > Attachments: build.patch, build.patch > > > There is a call to sh with automatically generated shell script that was used > to untar the AIR archive.
