RE: [ ] [Nant-users] Error with Solution Task

[Garth Ormsby]

Hi, I've got the same/similar problem, using: NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.1548.0; net-1.0.win32; nightly; 28-Mar-04), where a vb.net project that has a number of references to COM dlls - builds ok in VS.Net and fails to build in nant with the "reference required... " errors.   A workaround that works ok for me - for each of the COM dlls, I separately do a tlbimp to a known directory relative to the build work-area, and then changed *all* the references to refer to the tlbimp'd dlls, not the COM dlls directly.    A bit of a pain, but.. adding the tlbimps wasn't too bad.   Cheers  ,-_|\   Garth Ormsby, Internet Group /     \  Computershare Technology Services \_,-._*  Sydney Australia                        v -----Original Message----- From: Ceely, Aron D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 20 May 2004 1:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ ] [Nant-users] Error with Solution Task I am getting an error while trying to build an ASP.Net web project, I have pasted parts of the logfile below.   [solution] Starting solution build.  [solution] Only C#, VB.NET and C++ projects are supported.  Skipping project 'CTIP_Data\CTIP_Data.dbp'.  [solution] Loading projects...  [solution] Loading project 'e:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\buildsolution\CTIP_Lib\CTIP_Lib.vbproj'.  [solution] Loading project 'E:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\Build\tip_build\TIP.vbproj'.  [solution] Gathering additional dependencies...  [solution] Fixing up references...  [solution] Skipping 'CTIP_Lib' [debug]...  [solution] Fixing up references...  [solution] Building 'TIP' [debug]...  [solution] Copying references:  [solution]  - System.Web  [solution]  - Office  [solution] D:\Apps\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\bin\tlbimp.exe "d:\Apps\Microsoft Office 2000\Office\MSO9.DLL" /silent /out:"e:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\build\tip_build\bin\Interop.Office.dll" /namespace:Office  [solution]  - System.Data  [solution]  - log4net                  [copy] Copying 1 file to 'e:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\build\tip_build\bin'.                  [copy] Copying 'E:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\Build\tip_build\Assemblies\log4net.dll' to 'e:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\build\tip_build\bin\log4net.dll'.  [solution]  - System.XML  [solution]  - System.Design  [solution]  - System  [solution]  - CommonLib                  [copy] Copying 1 file to 'e:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\build\tip_build\bin'.                  [copy] Copying 'E:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\Build\tip_build\Assemblies\CommonLib.dll' to 'e:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\build\tip_build\bin\CommonLib.dll'.  [solution]  - PowerPoint  [solution] D:\Apps\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\bin\tlbimp.exe "d:\Apps\Microsoft Office 2000\Office\msppt9.olb" /silent /out:"e:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\build\tip_build\bin\Interop.PowerPoint.dll" /namespace:PowerPoint  [solution]  - System.Drawing…   …[solution]     "E:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\Build\tip_build\Classes\ProjectInfo.vb"             E:\Data\Projects\CTIP\ctip_build\Build\tip_build\Classes\ReportCommon.vb(701) : error BC30652: Reference required to assembly 'Office' containing the type 'Office.MsoTriState'. Add one to your project.     Essentially, I have some code that is accessing an external COM library for MS Office 2000, and apparently something is having a hard time resolving the code at compile time to determine which assembly to reference.  I have added a reference in the web project to the COM library which creates in Interop assembly with a namespace of Office, however when running the solution task Nant also converts the same DLL using tlbimp.exe as noted above.  I am able to compile to project and solution that contains the project in VS.Net 2003 without a problem, and am a bit stumped as to where to go from here.  If anyone has any experience dealing with a similar issue related to extneral COM library references and knows a work around I would appreciate any information they could provide.  I have also included a snippet from the build file in question.   <target name="Clean">         <solution solutionfile="${build.sourcedir}\CTIP_Web.sln" configuration="${config}" outputdir="${build.dir}" verbose="true">             <webmap url="" path="">                 <map url="" path="${build.webproj.path}\TIP.vbproj" />                            </webmap>             <excludeprojects>                 <includes name="CTIP_Lib.vbproj" />             </excludeprojects>         </solution>     </target>   Thanks,   Aron Ceely   --- This email and any files transmitted with it are solely intended for the use of the addressee(s) and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
