- It now uses some internal NAnt tasks to perform its actions (License and .resx compiling). When I have a chance, I'll fix it to only use NAnt tasks to do its magic.
- It can handle building a solution, even one that uses Enterprise Template Projects.
- It will automatically resolve extra dependencies in solutions if the projects are built at the same time.
- If the solution is built by referencing the output file of the projects (versus referencing the project itself), it will automatically detect this and treat it as a reference to the project itself (including matching the solution's build configuration).
To use this task: - Unzip the task dll into the NAnt 0.8.01 directory. - Run NAnt using a .build file that has a <solution> task (see below)
If you have any issues, please email myself ASAP and I can try to resolve them. I will be trying to get the source available soon as well. It *really* needs to be cleaned up, but it can at least be patched by others if I put it into CVS.
*** Please note that this has not been tested with VS2003 solutions. As far as I know the project formats are similar, but I can't guarantee it will support every nuance (especially custom build steps).
Here is an example build file:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="nant" default="x" xmlnds="http://tempuri.org/nant-vs.xsd";>
<target name="x" description="Perform a 'debug' build">
<!-- Build the solution "main.sln", release configuration -->
<solution solutionfile="main.sln" configuration="release">
</solution>
<!-- Build all of the projects under the projects/ directory, automatically resolving dependencies, use the release configuration for each -->
<solution configuration="release">
<projects>
<includes name="projects\**\*.csproj"/>
</projects>
</solution>
</target>
</project>
