Ok - I've installed 1.5.3b1 and replaced the wrapper script by HEAD. Install dir: C:\apache-ant-1.5.3Beta1
Test 1: ln -s /cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.5.3Beta1/bin/ant /usr/local/bin/ant without modification: ANT_HOME=/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.5.3Beta1 with modification: expr: warning: unportable BRE: `^/.*': using `^' as the first character of the basic regular expression is not portable; it is being ignored ANT_HOME=/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.5.3Beta1 with '/.*' instead of '^/.*': ANT_HOME=/cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.5.3Beta1 Test 2: ln -s /cygdrive/c/apache-ant-1.5.3Beta1 /usr/local/ant cd /usr/local/bin ln -s ../ant/bin/ant ant without modification: shows the buggy behavior with modification: same as test 1 with '/.*' instead of '^/.*': same as test 1 So basically, the modification works as expected.
