[kepler-users] Problem building Kepler 2.4 on Cygwin

[Jonathan Boright]

All,

I'm having trouble building the stable 2.4 release using cygwin. The
trouble comes when sending ant update or ant change-to -Dsuite...

I was successful at checking out the build area:
me at xxxx /cygdrive/c/kepler/2.4/build-area
$ svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/releases/release-branches/build-area-2.4
.
Restored 'resources'
Restored 'resources/modules.default'
Restored 'resources/installer'
... [ many lines removed]
Restored 'src/org/kepler/build/UpgradeKeplerTasks.java'
Restored 'src/org/kepler/build/FindBugs.java'
Restored 'src/org/kepler/build/GetAllModules.java'
Checked out revision 32227.

but then the following line fails:
me at xxxx /cygdrive/c/kepler/2.4/build-area
$ ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler-2.4
Buildfile: C:\kepler\2.4\build-area\build.xml

change-to:

It seems like it is trying to check out to the following incorrect
path " '/cygdrive/c/kepler/2.4/build-area/C:\kepler\2.4\kepler-2.4'"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Jon
