Trick to Run Exec Task with Dir set

[Michael Wang \(IT\)]

Hi,

I have the following ant script.


        <target ...>
                <foreach target="_call.batch.proc.make_" param="proc.file">
                        <param name="makefile.mk" value="mymakefile"/>
                        <path>
                                <fileset id="proc.retek.file" 
dir="${source.dir}">
                                        <include name="*.pc"/>
                                </fileset>                  
                        </path>
                </foreach>
        </target>

        <target name="_call.batch.proc.make_">
                <basename property="module.name" file="${proc.file}" 
suffix=".pc"/>
                <dirname property="directory.name" file="${proc.file}"/>
                <exec executable="make" dir="${directory.name}" 
failonerror="true">
                        <arg value="-f ${makefile.mk} ${module.name}"/>
                </exec>
        </target>
        

I have to run "make" under ${directory.name} in order to get the code compiled.

for example, if I have the following files under ${directory.name}

        a.pc
        b.pc
        c.pc

I have to cd to that directory, and run

        make -f mymakefile a
        make -f mymakefile b
        make -f mymakefile c

Now, I keep getting error like "make: 1254-027 Cannot open mymakefile a.". I 
verified under ${directory_name}, the file mymakefile is there.

Any idea? Thanks.

Mike
