As I said, I haven't used the <Solution /> statement in NAnt before, but
it looks to me like it somehow tries to use MSBuild.exe on the .vcproj.
I can provide two scenarios that are working for me, however:
Option 1 would be to invoke devenv (Visual Studio itself) for compiling
your solution:
<echo message="Compiling Solution with Visual Studio 2005" />
<exec
program="${environment::get-variable('VS80COMNTOOLS')}..\IDE\devenv.com"
commandline="MySolution.sln /rebuild ${build.configuration}"
/>
Option 2 would be to list the projects you want compiled in a .csv file
and manually invoke either msbuild.exe or vcbuild.exe depending on the
project type:
<property
name="vcbuild.binary"
value="${environment::get-variable('VS80COMNTOOLS')}../../VC/VCPackages/VCBuild.exe"
/>
<foreach
item="Line" in="${build.platform}.projects.csv" delim=","
property="project.directory,project.msbuildfile,project.binary"
>
<!--
Until VC2008 is out, we need to compile VC++ projects using
MSBuild.exe from the command line to prevent TeamCity from
hijacking the MSBuild task and causing the build to fail.
-->
<if test="${path::get-extension(project.msbuildfile) == '.vcproj'}">
<exec
program="${vcbuild.binary}"
workingdir="${project.directory}"
>
<arg value="/rebuild" />
<arg value="${project.msbuildfile}" />
<arg value="${build.configuration}" />
</exec>
</if>
<!-- Normal projects are safe to compile with the MSBuild task as
usual -->
<if test="${path::get-extension(project.msbuildfile) != '.vcproj'}">
<msbuild
project="${project.directory}/${project.msbuildfile}"
target="Rebuild"
>
<arg value="/p:Configuration=${build.configuration}" />
</msbuild>
</if>
</foreach>

Hope that helps, otherwise you'll have to wait for someone else to
provide further insight :)
