Hmmm... Tempting, but there is one big problem. I just found out that
commands executed with AT don't have access to network drives or
settings. Some of this build process involves fetching data over the
network, so it won't work.
I even wrote a C program that calls spawn() on the command you pass on
the command line, but it didn't work either. I can't believe how
frustrating this is. All of which could have been accomplished with a
sinmple & under Unix :-(
Any other ideas? I think I tried just about everything I could think of.
Thanks.
