Description Kim Moir

I'm testing our build on build.eclipse.org using hudson (bug 247332).

Our build uses the unix2dos utility to convert unix files to use windows delimiters to run our test scripts.  Could you please instead the unix2dos binaries on build.eclipse.org.  The dos2unix one is already installed.  Thanks !

Ok, SLES no longer includes unix2dos(as of about SLES10) since they provide the 'recode' command.  I've grabbed and built the source tarball, and the binary is installed in /shared/common.

Let me know if there are any problems.

-M.

Can you copy it to /usr/local/bin so it's automatically on the PATH of the hudson user.  Also, can you chmod o+rx it so it doesn't have to be invoked with ./unix2dos.  thanks :-)

Done.

Thanks Matt!

The way that this binary is set up is that the one in /usr/local/bin is symlinked to the one in /usr/shared/common.

I don't think the hudson user can access this. See below for my build output.
When I tested this before I was running the build from my userid at the command line, not hudson.

+ WORKSPACE=/opt/users/hudsonbuild/.hudson/jobs/eclipse-equinox-test/workspace
+ which unix2dos
which: no unix2dos in (/shared/common/ibm-java-jdk-ppc-60/bin:/shared/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50/bin:/opt/ibm/ibm-java2-ppc-50/bin/:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:

Can you add /usr/local/bin to the default path of the hudson user? Or something similar so the user can access it with specifying the path.

I've moved the link to /bin, and tested with the path you gave and the hudsonbuild user seems to be able to run unix2dos just fine.

-M.

Closing as per previous comment.

This seems to be missing now.  Was running some test builds from cron on build.eclipse.org and they failed because of this error.

/opt/backup/build.shared/common/unix2dos
e4Build@build:~/kimtest> /opt/backup/build.shared/common/unix2dos
-bash: /opt/backup/build.shared/common/unix2dos: cannot execute binary file

Can you reinstall this binary so we can assemble our test features :-)

Ok, I've built version 4.1 and have installed it in /opt/public/common .

-M.
