Ankit,
Thank you for such a quick fix.
It works now, except when you have a space in the command. It doesn't
separate the command from the arguments properly.
e.g.:
<Exec Command="$(ProjectDir)MyFolder\My folder with space in its
name\app.exe my arg1 myArg2" />
This gets executed as
command: $(ProjectDir)MyFolder\My
arguments: folder with space in its name\app.exe my arg1 myArg2
This also reproduces if $(ProjectDir) alone would contain spaces in its
path.
Under Windows, the common thing to do is to surround the command and
individual arguments that contain spaces with double quotes:
<Exec Command='"$(ProjectDir)MyFolder\My folder with space in its
name\app.exe" "my arg1" myArg2' />
This doesn't work with xbuild it seems. Although the command and
arguments look now separated properly:
i.e.:
command: "$(ProjectDir)MyFolder\My folder with space in its
name\app.exe"
arguments: "my arg1" myArg2
xbuild doesn't remove the leading and trailing double quotes and
launching the program fails (and possibly would have passed "my arg1"
with quotes included - and shouldn't).
Would really appreciate a fix for this as well :) .
Thanks,
Vlad.

Hi list,
I've been trying out xbuild for a while and everything seems great except
for the Exec task, which doesn't seem to work for me at all.
That seems to be a bug, i'm working on fixing that now.
BTW, please use the latest version of mono
(http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html)
as it has a much improved xbuild than the version that you seem to be
using.
-Ankit
For example, the following simple .proj file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Target Name="Build">
<Exec Command="echo Hello world!" />
</Target>
</Project>
when run with xbuild, it outputs:
v...@mrforgetful:~/w/test$ xbuild test.proj
XBuild Engine Version 0.1

Any idea what the problem could be? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

PS. This works on Windows/msbuild.
