Running shell scripts as external tools [message #74649] Wed, 02 July 2003 15:28 Go to next message

Hi all,
I've just got started with Eclipse and the CDT plugin after using KDevelop
and Visual Studio- and am really happy with it so far :o)

I'd like to be able to run a shell script as an External tool. I create a
shell script, and make it executable, within my workspace.

I go to Run->External Tools->External Tools I set up a new Program, with

location
${workspace_loc:/Pool/run.sh}

working directory
${container_loc}

and no other configuration. When I try Run, it tells me

Exception occurred executing command line.

(Yep, it does run from the command line!). The script is:

#!/bin/bash
echo hello!

Any help gratefully received :o) Cheers,
Tim

I believe the problem is that you can't call exec() on a shell script. You
have to specify the location to be /bin/sh and the argument to be
${work...

At least, that's what I do when I need to call a shell script...

You have to make the script executable, i.e., chmod +x a.sh

The difference is doing:
/bin/sh a.sh
or having the permissions of a.sh set right and just saying
a.sh
you don't have to start your script with #! if you are doing the first
one...
