can i have quotes in the value?

All,

Can i actually in the value field? For example,

 <exec dir="build/${ssl.name}" executable="make">
                <env key="LD_LIBRARY_PATH" value="/usr/local/lib"/>
                <env key="LD_RUN_PATH" value=""/>
                <arg value="CC="gcc -static-libgcc"/>
                </exec>

In the value field, can i do <arg value="CC="gcc -static-libgcc""/>

Ant seems not to like it. How can i get around it?

Thanks

Barry

Hi,
Put a property file and include this property in it.
Now include that property file into build file as follows.

----- Property file (build.properties)----------
gcc.command="gcc -static-libgcc"


----- build.xml ------------
<property file="build.properties"/>

...
<!-- Now use the property -->
<arg value="CC=${gcc.command}"/>
...

hi,

you can try using single quotes instead.
infact, Ant has issues with some characters like "<", "!" .. etc
