I've run into a bit of a problem with the Autobuilder API I'm not sure how to work around. We anticipate our Linux RT build and deployment process for add-on components to look something like this:
1. Use the AB_API to create source distributions.
2. Create opkg files from the source distribution deployable to remote sites.
3. Create code on the device to use opkg to download and install necessary packages.
The problem I'm running into has to do with Set Destination Path.vi. This vi uses a path control for the destination path input. Because the build code runs on a Windows machine, when I try to set a linux style destination path (\home\lvuser\...) it gets converted to a windows format (c:\home\lvuser\...), which generates an error "Destination path contains invalid characters." That's understandable, as the code is being built under a linux target. I can use a linux style relative path (home\lvuser\...) (note the missing preceeding back slash) but then the destination path in the build spec isn't set correctly.
How can I set an absolute deployment path for a linux target using the AB_API running on a Windows machine?
EDIT:
When I use c:\home\lvuser\... as the destination path, in the build spec it is showing up as /c/home/lvuser/...
When I user home\lvuser\... as the destination path, in the build spec it is showing up as home/lvuser/...
Neither of these options is correct. I want the destination path to be /home/lvuser/...
