stderr and Windows (was Re: Question about Turbine Schema and TDK)

[Jeremy Leader <jl...@alumni.caltech.edu>]

Redirecting stderr is a problem under Windows (and before that,
under DOS).  The standard command.com shells that come with
various versions of MS Windows don't support redirection of
stderr.  You have a few choices:

1. Use a different shell.  The MKS Toolkit has a pretty nice
    Korn shell for Windows.  I'm currently using Cygwin (open
    source, free), which provides the bash shell.  I think the
    4Dos shell from years ago may still be floating around
    somewhere.  These shells (and I'm sure there are others) all
    have various syntax (syntaces?) for redirecting stderr.

2. Write a program which will take a command line, run the
    command, and captures stderr to a file.  Years ago, the
    Microsoft C/C++ compiler came with one called rederr, but I
    haven't seen it in years.  You could probably whip up your
    own in C or Perl or even Java (using System.setErr).

3. Get the ant sources and change some or all of the references
    to System.err to use System.out instead.
