Trick to Run Exec Task with Dir set

["Michael Wang (IT)" <MW...@bordersgroupinc.com>]

Hi,

I have the following ant script.


	<target ...>
		<foreach target="_call.batch.proc.make_" param="proc.file">
			<param name="makefile.mk" value="mymakefile"/>
			<path>
				<fileset id="proc.retek.file" dir="${source.dir}">
					<include name="*.pc"/>
				</fileset>		    
			</path>
		</foreach>
	</target>

	<target name="_call.batch.proc.make_">
		<basename property="module.name" file="${proc.file}" suffix=".pc"/>
		<dirname property="directory.name" file="${proc.file}"/>
		<exec executable="make" dir="${directory.name}" failonerror="true">
			<arg value="-f ${makefile.mk} ${module.name}"/>
		</exec>
	</target>
	

I have to run "make" under ${directory.name} in order to get the code compiled.

for example, if I have the following files under ${directory.name}

	a.pc
	b.pc
	c.pc

I have to cd to that directory, and run

	make -f mymakefile a
	make -f mymakefile b
	make -f mymakefile c

Now, I keep getting error like "make: 1254-027 Cannot open mymakefile a.". I verified under ${directory_name}, the file mymakefile is there.

Any idea? Thanks.

Mike
