Full Discussion: running command prompt executable file in shell script
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers running command prompt executable file in shell script Post 302306951 by pludi on Tuesday 14th of April 2009 09:21:13 AM

It's probably because this isn't a shell script, but a VisualBasic script, designed for running on top of the Windows Scripting Host (WSH), which itself is just a petty excuse for a scripted environment on Windows (IMO).
The most important points on why it's not working as expected:
  • It's full of Windows specific paths
  • sndrec32 is a Windows application and does not exist on any UNIX
  • WSH is a Windows application, and I know of no program on UNIX that supports it, or any effort whatsoever to even plan to support it.

RunTargetUnitTests(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 				     RunTargetUnitTests(1)

NAME

     RunTargetUnitTests -- run unit tests for the current target

SYNOPSIS

     RunTargetUnitTests

DESCRIPTION

     RunTargetUnitTests examines its environment and runs the unit tests it presumes are present using otest(1).

     RunTargetUnitTests is intended to be called from a shell script build phase.  It expects certain environment variables to be configured from
     Xcode build settings (see below).

     RunTargetUnitTests will run tests for all built architectures appropriate for the machine running the tests.

ENVIRONMENT

     ARCHS		 The architectures the tests were built for; when tests are run, they will be run once per architecture.  If unspecified,
			 tests are run for the architecture returned by arch(1).

     DEVELOPER_DIR	 The Xcode folder, e.g. "/Developer". If unspecified the value for SYSTEM_DEVELOPER_DIR will be used, or "/Developer" if
			 that also is unspecified.

     BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR  The directory containing built products; when tests are run, this is specified in DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH.  If unspecified
			 tests are run from the current working directory with no DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH.

     FULL_PRODUCT_NAME	 The full name of the built product, including its wrapper extension if any.

     GCC_ENABLE_OBJC_GC  Whether or not the test bundle was compiled with Objective-C garbage collection enabled.  Possible values are
			 unsupported, supported, and required.	If not set, defaults to unsupported, which will run otest(1) with Objective-C
			 garbage collection disabled.

     NATIVE_ARCH_ACTUAL  The architecture of the machine running the tests, used to determine for which architectures tests can be run.  If
			 unspecified, defaults to the architecture returned by arch(1).

     OTEST		 The path to the otest command line tool; defaults to /Developer/Tools/otest.

     TEST_AFTER_BUILD	 Set to YES to run tests, any other value will prevent test execution.

FILES

     /Developer/Tools/RunTargetUnitTests  The script used to run tests from a shell script build phase.

     /Developer/Tools/otest		  The OCUnit test rig.
