RE: using ant for non-java builds?

2004-12-07 Thread Jeff Davidson

I'm not at work, so I don't have a concrete example in front of me but, basically, you just want to look at the docs for the task, and call your command line compiler. Myself, I'm not even compiling any Java classes with Ant; I'm compiling Delphi and Visual C++ projects by executing dcc32.exe and

Ant-users, I'm quickly approaching a problem I don't know how to solve. Here's the background: I've got Cruisecontrol monitoring the CVS tree for my project, launching a delegating Ant file, which in turn launches the individual build files for each binary that goes into the application (Delphi
