Troy,
Eventually, we might want to get rid of the binaries in the source
distribution and use Makefile (linux) or batch file (windows) to
build a bootstrap version of NAnt, that is then used to build the
full version of NAnt.
we'll still need the binaries for dependent libraries though so this
might not be that useful. Although it would mean not having to update
those bootstrap binries all the time.
Not sure, if I understand you correctly, but we'd only need the third
party assemblies, no NAnt assemblies, right ?
yep - thats what I meant.
If there are no NAnt assemblies in the source distribution, then users
cannot mistake then for being a full binary distribution, and we would
indeed get rid of the need to update the binaries in cvs ...
sounds good.
Oh and if we decide makefile then there is no reason not to use a
nmake compatible makefile for windows.
Yeah, but I'm not sure if all users have nmake (is it installed as
part of VS.NET, or ... ?), but those wanting to build NAnt from source
will surely have I guess ...
its part of the SDK also.:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0\Bin\nmake.exe
