using ant to create lnk/exe

Hi,
I'd like to use ant to create lnk/exe. I know about the ROXES ant  
taskes but wonder... is there a way to use any OS BUT Windows ... I'd  
like to stay cross-platform :)

Thanks,
Dominik

linkers? for lnk? -> lnks are shorcuts
And for exes I dont want to create os's own executable but ALWAYS an  
win32 exe file.

Hello Dominik,

since linkers have different names on different operating systems, if
you want to be truly crossplatform, you need to use an ant task, third
party or written by you, which will mask the heterogeneity of the
operating systems,
and invoke the appropriate linker, depending on the OS you are running
on. The first difficulty is in any case to gather the knowledge about
the different linkers available on each platform, and the specificities
of their command
line arguments.
