Hey Chris For multi-targeted stuff with .Net I've built some stuff that uses a small executable and NAnt to generate project files which can then be compiled with MSBuild.
This technique is used extensively for dotNetRDF where we target up to 6 different framework profiles for some of our libraries. Essentially it takes a source project, a project template to populate and a resulting project name you want to generate. It also needs a relative path to indicate where the source project lives in relation to the target project. When it runs it goes through the source project file and for every Compile/EmbeddedResource item which is directly in that project (I.e. not included via a Link) it adds a Link to that item to the target project file. The target project file is literally a stub project file (generated in Visual Studio with the target framework set appropriately and it's own AssemblyInfo.cs), see http://dotnetrdf.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dotnetrdf/Trunk/Libraries/core. clientprofile/dotNetRDF.ClientProfile.csproj.template?revision=2252&view=ma rkup for an example template. See http://dotnetrdf.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dotnetrdf/Trunk/Build/ExportCor eContentsToTemplate/ for the actual tool For the NAnt scripts with example usages see http://dotnetrdf.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dotnetrdf/Trunk/Build/nant/dotn etrdf.build?revision=2252&view=markup - Look at the projectgen goals for invocation examples and the compile targets for invoking MSBuild on the end results. It may be somewhat clunky but it does work, I'm sure it can be adapted to your needs if you're interested - it's all open source Rob On 7/9/12 5:51 PM, "Christopher Currens" <currens.ch...@gmail.com> wrote: >I've got it working, compiling and all test passing...The only caveat is >that I'm not sure the best way to multi-target.
