Thanks guys, the include file concept is brilliant and solves my issues
nicely. Thanks also for submitting it as a bug, I didn't know I could do
that as well.

Eric,
I've been playing around a bit with what you're trying, and I would say it
looks suspiciously like a bug. (Anything passed via the response file
should, IMHO be processed identically to the way the same string would be
processed on the command line, and it isn't.)
I have submitted it as a bug (1736526), since I didn't know if you were
familiar with the bug submission process.
Until it is fixed, I would suggest the same as Bill, and set the properties
via a NAnt build file, then include them using an <include> operation.
Regards,
Richard

Eric,
Presumably if the configuration is machine dependant, then you are only
concerned with the properties on the command line changing as I would
imaging the name of the build script, log file etc will always be the same?
In this case, have you considered defining the properties in a separate
build script and using the <include> task to import them into a your script,
rather than passing them in. You could maintain a separate properties file
for each machine, or you could maintain all machine configs in a single
file, and pass in a single property to identify the machine and use the if
attribute to determine the values defined. This depends on how manyu
machines you have I guess.
Cheers,
Bill Martin

I would expect "-D:vb6base=c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vb98" to
work, but since you say the switches are in a file I don't know if that will
still be valid. (It would be from the command line).
[Eric Teutsch]
That doesn't work from the file. I need the file since I have about 20
'switches' to set things up for the specifics of the machine where the build
is occurring.

Richard

Subject: [NAnt-users] long filenames in property overrides
Can anybody suggest how I can squeeze a long filename with spaces into a -D
switch? I've got a text file with a number of switches, like:
-buildfile:proj.build.xml
-logfile:proj.build.log
-D:vb6base=c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vb98
But that last switch is no good, since it stops parsing the value upon first
space. So far I've specified the 8.3 equivalent name, but that's just a
work-around. I've tried quotes in various places, but can't make it work.
Any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!
