Re: "Sourcing" linux environment file in CC

There are separate environments for each project.  So solution one is 
unfortunately not viable.

I have used the solution where I put it all in one bash script and 
execute, but none of the build output is published to the web dashboard, 
making the build kind of pointless (if it's not published, then the 
developer doesn't know what exactly failed!).

Previously I've wrapped "make" in an Ant script, as an exec task, and 
that seemed to publish the results correctly.  However, running the 
"source" inside a bash script doesn't preserve the variables after the 
script exits.  I need something similar to a single shell, where after 
running the source command, the exported variables remain.
