Hi Nathan, if i understand you correctly you are trying to use the NAnt task of CruiseControl.NET to call the MSBuild task of NAnt. I think the problem is that you are trying to specify a logger for MSBuild through the logger element of the NAnt task. That way CruiseControl.NET tries to make NAnt use the MSBuild logger and fails. If you want to use NAnt to call MSBuild you need to specify the logger in the NAnt build script.
As far as i can see the NAnt MSbuild task has no setting to specify a logger. If you really need to specify one you could use the exec task. But if i remember correctly the MSBuild output will go into the NAnt log and therefore i wonder if you need to use a logger at all. I guess you want to use the MSBuild XSL because it looks better? Then you need the logger somehow... regards, Daniel On Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:26:33 -0800 (PST) Nathaniel <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have an existing set of NAnt build scripts that runs with zero > dependency on CCNet, and I want to keep that functionality.
