I agree with Tomas here. I run multiple versions and never have Nant or similar tools in my path.
The environment variable is just one more thing to get wrong. A pre-defined property could never be incorrect. Having to set environment variables before a build will succeed has always seemed like a hack to me, and it's been the source of many a wasted hour trying to figure out why something won't build. It's also why it's often difficult to build a new build server. > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Hernandez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 1:17 PM > To: 'Tomas Restrepo'; 'NAnt Developers' > Subject: RE: [nant-dev] New Nant Property > > > It seems like an environment variable is a good way to do > this.
