Re: [Nant-users] Problems building Nant and test project

Casey,   The copyright issue, is something that was fixed post 0.84.  For the Visual C++ tests to succeed you need to execute the VS.NET vsvars32.bat file (eg. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio ..NET 2003\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat) before building NAnt.   For the csc task issue, NAnt did not support an <include> element for filesets up until a very recent nightly build (http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/builds), in previous releases this element was called <includes> (for the next release, we'll support both <include> and <includes>), so you'll need something like this :   <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="helloworld" default="build">    <target name="build">     <csc target="exe" output="helloworld.exe">       <sources>         <includes name="helloworld.cs" />       </sources>     </csc>   </target> </project>   But your build file will work unmodified on the latest nightly build.   Hope this helps,   Gert     ----- Original Message ----- From: Casey Charlton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 11:05 AM Subject: [Nant-users] Problems building Nant and test project Just downloaded latest version (0.84), and Nant won’t build itself – it fails it’s own Unit tests – firstly with an issue with the copyright date (2003 vs 2004), then with C++ test errors, which I haven’t worked around. Seems a bit odd it won’t build correctly ‘out of the box’   Anyway – decided to ignore that for the moment and use the prebuilt binaries – and created a test directory, with 2 files: helloworld.cs and helloworld.build  ….. running nant on them fails:   NAnt 0.84 (Build 0.84.1455.0; net-1.0.win32; release; 26/12/2003) Copyright (C) 2001-2003 Gerry Shaw http://nant.sourceforge.net   Buildfile: file:///C:/test/helloworld.build Target(s) specified: build   build:         [csc] Compiling 0 files to C:\test\helloworld.exe.             fatal error CS2008: No inputs specified   BUILD FAILED   …….   The two files are as simple as they can be:   public class HelloWorld {   static void Main()   {     System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");   } }     <?xml version="1.0"?>   <project   name="helloworld"   default="build">     <target name="build">     <csc       target="exe"       output="helloworld.exe">       <sources>         <include name="helloworld.cs" />       </sources>     </csc>   </target>   </project>         As its so simple and failing – Im stuck for an answer… in verbose mode I get:   build:         [csc] Compiling 0 files to C:\test\helloworld.exe.       [csc] Contents of C:\DOCUME~1\charltc\LOCALS~1\Temp\tmpB32.tmp. /fullpaths /nologo "/target:exe" "/out:C:\test\helloworld.exe"         [csc] Starting 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe (@"C: \DOCUME~1\charltc\LOCALS~1\Temp\tmpB32.tmp")' in 'C:\test'             fatal error CS2008: No inputs specified   BUILD FAILED
