Ant build.xml requires user input, but Eclipse has no tty
- by carneades
I'm trying to better integrate Eclipse with my build.xml.
My build file calls GNU Make for the native portion of the program, and the Makefile uses sudo to movethe compiled libs into system path.
Unfortunately that requires entering a password, and Eclipse's terminal doesn't accept user input.
So the result from running the build in eclipse is:
[exec] sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[exec] make: *** [install] Error 1
Any way around this problem? Can the ant build be elevated to root some other way?
