Detecting modified times and exiting a target
Hi all,
I am utterly failing at attempting to implement some logic in an ant
script, I was hoping somebody here could help.
I have a target which calls an external (non-standard) compiler. The
compiler takes a directory as a parameter and recursively compiles
everything inside that folder to an output folder, but it is not smart
enough to know when it is not necessary to do the compilation. (i.e. 2
calls to the target will result in the compilation step being started
from scratch each time, despite the source folder not changing).
In this target, I need to implement the following logic:-
- get the latest modified time of the source folder (looking
recursively at all files)
- get the latest modified time of the output folder (looking
recursively at all files)
- if the output folder has been modified since the source folder, then
exit the task
Could somebody please help me implement this in ant-speak?

Not what you were asking for - but:
Use cpptask from the ant-contrib project - this handles all the logic of
compiling C and CPP, and also has some plugins for fortran. If handles all
the dependancy analysis for the Code and if your using a standard compiler
gcc, msvc it's all done for you.... all you have to do is configure it ;-)
