Bash script in Ant

Question

I have script for asterisk

./configure --prefix=/home/some/path

I want to execute this script from build.xml file

this version does not work

<exec dir="${asterisk.dir}" executable="./configure">
    <arg line=" --prefix=/home/some/path"/>
</exec>

Can anybody help me?

Is the configure script executable? Does it work if you remove "./"? — Brett Kail

The difference between you command line and the Ant script is the working directory. One is the current one, the other is the asterisk one.

Probably you just want to do:

<exec dir="${basedir}" executable="${basedir}/configure">
    <arg line="--prefix=/home/some/path"/>
</exec>
