Hi all, I am converting a Makefile to an ant script. Is there a way to specify directory location in ant, like with the 'cd' command in a Makefile/shell script? I have an exe file that I need to execute (via the <exec> task), which is located in a sub-directory of where the main ant script is, and I *think* the <exec> is failing because the ant task execute gives a directory scope to the exe, which causes the exe to not process it's own internal relative directory lookups properly. The exe fails because it cannot find a file that is "right in front of it". I need to tell the ant script what directory it should be starting at (the equivalent of 'cd'). Thanks for any help, Chad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
