Hi,
thanks for pointing to this blog. I already tested described hint - its
quite cool. From generated proj file it could be read what msbuild do about
sln files. Without having it, we have just a black box.
As Brass wrote, there usually is not a problem even with <exec>ing
msbuild.exe. Despite it's not much elegant, there are some caveats. One,
which was show-blocker for me, msbuild is unable to build set of projects
like <solution> is.
<solution configuration="Release" outputdir="${output.dir}"
includevsfolders="false">
<projects basedir="${build.dir}">
<includesfile name="${state.dir}\projects"/>
</projects>
...
Thats why I created <msbuild-solution>. There is also simple <msbuild> task,
which is not much more that <exec> above msbuild.exe.
I'd be glad if you give a try to those tasks. Of course, you're welcomed to
extend/polish them as well.
Regards,
Martin Aliger
