Hi, i think, i found the problem (on WinNT at least): ant will find the cvs executable, when it is in the PATH, but contrary to what you're used to from working with Batches you MUST NOT doublequote the path, even if there are spaces in it! So this works for me set PATH=c:\Programme\gnu\WinCVS 1.1;%PATH% So, you don't need to move your cvs directory around. Martin. List: ant-user Subject: RE: Question: How to make ant running with cvs From: Viraj Purang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2001-06-19 20:22:35 [Download message RAW] Hi, I changed the directory that I was accessing to one which does not have spaces in its name (Mind you , I had given the quotes to take care of that ..., but that in fact quotes coould be a problem too.) from C:\CVS1\builder>set PATH PATH="C:\Progra~1\GNU\WinCvs 1.1" to point to C:\CVS1\builder>set PATH=c:\mycvs;%PATH% (I did not reinstall WinCvs, just copied the files over to c:\Mycvs) and the error changed , basically it started recognizing the cvs.exe that I have. IN response to your qn ...does WinCVS even have a command-line interface? They have a cvs.exe and a WinCvs.exe which leads me to believe that they wanted us to have an option here of being capable enough to invoke the cvs program from the command line too.IN hindsight, I guess I would not know unless I burn myself on this one but responses now seem to be quite encouraging as the results below show. If you know any other working CVS client on Windows, I would be the happiest person to know about it ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
