Bug ID: 433537
Summary: Windows: Cannot use preprocessor
Product: kdiff3
Version: 1.8.5
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: reeves...@gmail.com
Reporter: reeves...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When using a preprocessor command, the preprocessed files seem to always be
empty. On Windows 10 with Git for Windows installed, I set the PATH to include
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin in order to have sed.exe (and cat.exe) available
which are not bundled with kdiff3 anymore.
When I do a directory diff with "Full Analysis" and a "Preprocessor Command", I
always get the result that all files matched and when I look at them, they are
displayed as all empty (hence identical). This even happens when I use cat as
the "Preprocessor Command". Obviously any more sophisticated sed filtering will
also fail.
Is this a known issue with a known workaround?
(If I fail to set up the PATH, any filtering fails because sed.exe is not
found.)
