Actually, exec *is* supported on Linux. You just need to specify the
executable as "make". e.g. <exec executable="/usr/bin/make">
Cheers,

My point is that i am not invoking any simple script. Makefile should be
called with make command

Kamran,
You can still run the exec task in a UNIX environment. The command to use
would be sh, ksh, or bash:
Example:
for windows:
<exec executable="cmd" failonerror="true"
outputproperty="build.xml.version.line">
<arg line='/c "cvs status
${quote}${app.lar.source.clientpath}/${prop.cust.xml.basename}.xml${quote}
| findstr Working | findstr revision"'/>
</exec>
for UNIX:
<exec executable="sh" failonerror="true"
outputproperty="build.xml.version.line">
<arg line="-c ${quote}cvs -d${common.setup.cvsRoot}
status ${app.lar.source.clientpath}/${prop.cust.xml.basename}.xml | grep
'Working'${quote}"/>
</exec>
You can also use <arg value="some single argument">. I like to use the
<arg line="some line of arguments"> ...
I hope this helps ...

Re: how to call a file in build.xml
But exec is not supported on Linux. if we are in Windows.. and we want to
call a batch file then we can use exec but under UNIX it is assumed that
we
can run scripts in shell

Try the exec command. This allows you to call external command files.
