[kepler-users] Build issues using Windows 7 x74 + cygwin.

[Thomas M. Parris]

All,

I am working with one of my staff to build Kepler.  Several of us have been
successfully using Kepler, adding in our own code, and connecting to our own
svn repository for that code for some time.  But, something seems to be
broken in the trunk that effects the new user.

We are starting with the commands described in Step 1 of Developing a Hello
World Actor using the Kepler Build System and Eclipse
(https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/documentation/developing-
a-hello-world-actor-using-the-kepler-build-system-and-eclipse).  My user is
using cygwin on Windows 7 x64.

mkdir c:/kepler
cd c:/kepler
svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/build-area
cd build-area
ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler
ant run

All works well up until "ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler"  At that point we get
the following errors ...

$ ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler
Buildfile: C:\kepler\build-area\build.xml
change-to:
[change-to] Copying 1 file to C:\kepler\build-area
[change-to] Retrieving modules....
[change-to]
[change-to] kepler:
[change-to] Downloading kepler...
[change-to] svn co -r head
https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/kepler
C:\kepler\kepler
[change-to] svn: E000002: Can't make directory
'/cygdrive/c/kepler/build-area/C:\kepler\kepler': No such file or directory
[change-to]
BUILD FAILED
C:\kepler\build-area\build.xml:97: ERROR: It appears that the command did
not execute properly and exited with an exit code of: 1

The issue appears to be that the build system is telling svn to download
kepler to a directory using Windows style syntax intead of unix style syntax
and that this is confusing cygwin.  My other staff (including me) use cygwin
without problems. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Tom
