I have the same problem. The exec task is too primitive. Here are things I would like to see:
1. <exec> tag with if and unless attributes 2. <arg> subtags with if and unless attributes 3. <envSet> subtag so that an environment set can be defined somewhere with id and then referenced multiple times with refid Basically, my idea is to take the awesome flexibility of cpptasks (with its if and unless support and ability to reuse sets of tags) but apply it to <exec> since cpptasks won't work for arbitrary program execution. --- Shawn Castrianni -----Original Message----- From: Yang Zhang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 3:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Setting environment variables Hi, I know that I can set environment variables for a subprocess by using <env> inside an <exec>, but if I have a bunch of targets that all do <exec>s, and I'd like them all to have this same environment set up, how may I accomplish this duplicating a bunch of <env>s everywhere? My goal is to set things up for building/running a native Linux executable that links with the JVM and a JNI library (to make gdb-ing the JNI library easier), by setting: - LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH to "${java.library.path}" - JAVA_HOME to "${java.home}/.." - CPATH to "${java.home}/../include:${java.home}/../include/linux" If there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do, I'm all ears.
