we'll still need the binaries for dependent libraries though so this might not be that useful. Although it would mean not having to update those bootstrap binries all the time.Troy,
Eventually, we might want to get rid of the binaries in the source distribution and use Makefile (linux) or batch file (windows) to build a bootstrap version of NAnt, that is then used to build the full version of NAnt.
Oh and if we decide makefile then there is no reason not to use a nmake compatible makefile for windows.

If you have time to look into this that would be great... You should be able to find a bootstrap makefile in cvs (just look at earlier revisions of the Makefile in the root directory).

Gert, you mentioned that we should not use the binaries in the bin
directory of the src distribution. Could you explain why we get this
error? I'm sure it's something trivial I haven't thought of... I'm just
curious.
The binaries that are included in the source distribution are only intended to be used to build a full version of NAnt.
Is it worth renaming the bin folder to something like bootstrap? I guess that's not very standard.
Perhaps a message in the header when running the bootstrap NAnt, to clearly indicate that you're not using the correct NAnt?
Just a thought,
