AFAICT ant's correctly configured...?

Assume Ant is installed in c:\ant\. The following sets up the
environment:

set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.2.2
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin

<http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#installing>

but this gives worse results, unknown command

Your post makes no sense without the original post.

ahhh, sorry, tried to cancel the post. got the environmental var's
working for ant. the "set" command showed the problem, very convenient
little command there


thanks,

Thufir

Hi,

I think ANT_HOME must point to the directory where ant is installed, not a
sub-directory like "bin".

Just try : D:\ProgramFiles\ant instead of D:\ProgramFiles\ant\bin


Regards,

Arnaud

thanks, IIRC the "set" command showed an extra "\" because it was in
one environmental variable, and also in the PATH.

thanks again,

Thufir

I'm reasonably sure you want:

ANT_HOME=D:\Program Files\Ant

Not what you have. In fact, you may even need

ANT_HOME=D:\Progra~1\Ant

if ant has a hard time figuring out space in path names.

from memory:
ANT_HOME=D:\ProgramFiles\ant
Path=C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\;D:\ProgramFiles\ant\bin;

but, it's really:

PATH=...;%ANT_HOME%\bin;

I had
ANT_HOME=D:\ProgramFiles\ant\

with an extra slash, which was mucking things up. the "set" command
showed the problem

thanks guys,

Thufir
