Subject: Problem with Environment Variables on Win2000
Hello,
I've written an ant script on Linux and I'm now in the
process of trying to run it on windows and I've hit a
snag. My general strategy is to launch ant on linux
from a shell script in which I set several environment
variables like so:
export MY_VAR=foo
I than access these values through ant using the
<property environment="env"/> mechanism. On linux
things work fine but when I port my shell script to a
bat file there are problems. I am unable to access
the value of (for example) MY_VAR even though I've set
it in the bat file like so: SET MY_VAR=foo. I've
noticed that I am able to access 'standard'
environment variables (eg, Path) but the ones I set
explicity in the bat file which launches ant aren't
recongised. Should this work? Is there some work
around? If anyone could set me straight, I'd
appreciate it.
