Subject: sourcenav munges my preferences!
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 07:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010323103431.D10980@harmony.cs.rit.edu> (raw)

In the preferences dialog I want the build command to be:

sourcenav-ant.bat VSS/LegacyIntegrator buildFull

but snav insists on changing it to 

sourcenav-ant.bat VSS\LegacyIntegrator buildFull


I took a look at the source, in multimake.tcl line 215 is :

@@set $this-makecommand [file nativename $sn_options(both,make-command)]


Apparently SNav is trying to be smart by converting paths to the
native format.  The problem is I don't want that.  It won't work with
a '\'.  (The build command invokes bash, which runs a shell script
that runs ant (a make replacement for java) and the shell script needs
the / because the \L turns into L and the resulting path DNE).  

I changed the line to :

@@set $this-makecommand $sn_options(both,make-command)

and the build window now appears correctly.  However, if I open the
preferences dialog again, it has munged the command.


What can I hack to remove this "feature" and get the string exactly as
I entered?

Thanks,
-D
