Is this naked Windows or using Cygwin or MSYS? This is important since it is a question of whether it is the DOS batch file or the Posix shell script.
Someone had a very similar problem some months ago with the DOS batch script. After a lot of experimentation, in the end, they discovered that the only thing that worked was:
gant "-D barney=123"
This is a DOS batch file issue not a Gant source code issue. An alternative to the above is to use the native launcher instead of the DOS batch file.
