CreateProcess error=2..... Help needed

[raggy]

Hi guys,

I'm currently doing an ANT script in eclipse which requires me to work on CVS checkout.

<cvs cvsRoot="${cvs.root}" package="${package}" dest="${cvs.dir}" command="checkout" cvsrsh="ssh" failonerror="true"/>

I think I've configured my script properly, but I'm continuously getting this error

Cannot run program "cvs" (in directory "C:\resource"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

I know that I need to install a CVS client and configure the path but how am I suppose to do that on eclipse??? Kindly please help me out

raggy,

this really is a question for the user list, not the mailing list
dealing with the development of Ant.

This always means the same thing.  The executable you try to execute is
not on your PATH.  It really should be in the FAQ by now.

I don't use Eclipse, so I'm not sure.  But I think that you really only
need to ensure your system environment variable Path contains the
directory that contains cvs.exe after you've installed your client.  It
shouldn't matter whether you use Eclipse or the command line to run Ant
in that case (unless Eclipse fiddles with the enviroment, that is).

Hi,

Thanks for the info Stefan, but I think I have configured the PATH properly in the Environment Variables. I don't know why it's not being noticed in eclipse. I'm very sorry for posting this topic here.
