ant and Win98

Hello, I've been using ant with much success over the last couple months on 
NT Solaris and Linux.  I have recently tried to run it on win98 with no 
success.  I have set ant_home, java_home and the ant/bin directory is in 
the path.  I have also changed all references to "program files" in the 
and.bat to point to short directory names thinking that there might be a 
problem with long file names.  When ever I attempt to run "ant" I get bad 
command or file name.  Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

My thanks as well.  The line feeds and, for my situation, re-installing JRE
did the trick.

         Thanks to the list for the help on this one.  The problem turned
out to be the linefeeds.  When I saved the batch files as PC files ant ran
successfully.  I Probably should have noticed that one.  If the FAQ allows
submissions I think I'll add this.

RE: ant and Win98 (Newbie Question)

Posted by "Brian D. Wisniewski" <br...@cgiusa.com>.
Good Morning,

Changing the line-feeds did help with clearing up the bad command or file
name issue.

Now however, I get the following when I attempt to run ant:

Error: could not open `C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\lib\jvm.cfg'

This does not seem to make sense because the JRE\1.3\lib folder does not
exist within Javasoft?

I am running Win98 with Ant v1.1, jdk1.2.1, Java API for XML Parsing v1.0.1,
and Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.

My Path is set to the following:
SET
PATH=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\DOS;c:\jdk1.2.1\bin;c:\ant\bin;c:\PROG
RA~1\Javasoft\JAXP1.0.1\

My CLASSPATH is set to:
SET
CLASSPATH=C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JAXP1.0.1\PARSER.JAR;C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JAX
P1.0.1\JAXP.JAR;C:\ANT\;C:\JDK1.2.1\;C:\ANT\BIN

I have also set the following:
SET ANT_HOME=c:\ant
SET JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.2.1
SET JAXPHOME=C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\Jaxp1.0.1

I suspect I'm missing something obvious but can't put my finger on it.

Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian D. Wisniewski

Maybe your .bat-Files still have unix-style line feeds. DOS (or the
Win98
command line cannot process such files correctly. Try to open the
ant.bat
with windows notepad. If there are unix-style line feeds in the file,
there will be black boxes instead of line-feeds.

I ran into this at home.  I think it has something to do with the commands that
ant.bat calls.  Put an echo in top of  the bat file to see if it is getting
run.

If I remember correctly it is in the lcp.bat program.  I'll try to remember to
look tonite....
