Re: Problem with Ant P4 Task

[weiji <na...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I am also in a similar situation.  I found that the p4change task does not
set the p4.change property when I run the build from a linux host, but it
works fine when run from a Windows host.  This causes the build to fail
because we cannot checkin files without the property being set.

Does anyone have a workaround?  

Thanks,
KaJun
