Re: [Nant-users] using pkg-config::get-link-flags in task

[Ian MacLean]

I'm trying to write a nant buildfile for a Mono application which uses
Gtk#. I'm already using the pkg-config functions in nant to check for
the package and to get the link flags (pkg-config --libs gtk-sharp).
However, when i try to use that result to pass it along in a <csc> task,
it won't work since the link flags already contain the "-r:" parameter
which nant wants to add by itself. Here's the task i currently have:
<property name="gtk-sharp.libs" value="${pkg-config::get-link-flags
('gtk-sharp')}"/>
<csc target="library" output="${plugin.dir}/node.dll" debug="${build.
debug}">
           <sources>
               <include name="*.cs"/>
           </sources>
           <references basedir="${build.dir}">
               <include name="bin/monodevelop.exe"/>
               <include name="${gtk-sharp.libs}/>
           </references>
       </csc>
This is what pkg-config returns:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] generated]$ pkg-config --libs gtk-sharp
-r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/glib-sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/
built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/pango-sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/
gtk-sharp/atk-sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/gdk-
sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/gtk-sharp.dll
So am i using nant correctly here and is this a bug i'm encountering? If
so, can this be fixed soon or is there a workaround?
 

the workaround is to use an <arg> child element to pass the 
gtk-sharp.libs and don't add it to the references fileset.
