Question

I’ve some trouble with winAnt. Everytime I try to start the “build” process with the command “ant build” on the cmd it returns the Error that the command “ant” dosn’t exist or is wrong written.

So what did I do till now?:

1. I am using Windows 7 32 bit-Version

2. Get the Java JDK from oracle website

3. Get WinAnt from http://code.google.com/p/winant/ (v 1.8.2)
4. Installed Java JDK
5. Installed WinAnt and point to the directory C: Program Files/Java/jre7/bin/
6. go to cmd.exe
7. go to directory i want to compress and type:”ant build”

–>Then the error message occures as mentioned abov….

So do anyone know what I am doing wrong all the time?

-Regards

You will need to add ant to your path. The docs say it better than I can.
