Hi,
I have a bit of a problem with the <nant> task and can't see what's wrong.
Below is a copy of my build script and the associated output. According to
the documentation, I should be able to use a property value in my current
project to pass through top a new NAnt instance, but it seems to be failing.
Am I missing something really stupid or is it a bug? I'm using NAnt 0.84
As you can see below, the property ${propfile} appears to be defined until I
use it in the nested <properties> element on the <nant> task.
Cheers,
Bill
