RE: exec on devenv.exe does not output anything

Enable the devenv log output:

Devenv.exe /log "C:\My Files\MyLog.txt"

Subject: exec on devenv.exe does not output anything


Hi everyone,

I am running an Ant script from Luntbuild in order to build an Visual Studio
8 solution (set of projects).
When I run "devenv.exe Complete.sln /build Release" from a command line I
get the output of the build in the DOS box, but when I run the same command
with an <exec> task it does not output any single line:

	<exec dir="${basedir}\Complete" executable="devenv.exe"
failonerror="true">
		<arg line="Complete.sln /build Release"/>
	</exec>

I also tried to run a "cmd.exe /C devenv.exe Complete.sln /build Release"
with <exec> but the result is the same. Do you have an idea why <exec>, in
this particular situation, does not grab any output from the command? I have
other <exec> in my build script (mkisofs, cmd, cvs tag) and they all work
fine regarding the output...

Cheers,
Benjamin
