Merrill,
Can you try using the latest nightly build
(http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/builds) ? There have been tons of fixes
to the <solution> task since the 0.84 release.
Thanks,
Gert

Subject: [Nant-users] <solution> Task Oddness
> I am using a NAnt 0.84 script to build two Visual Studio C# DLLs.
Originally, the script I inherited used the <exec> task below to build the
first DLL:
>
> <exec workingdir="${cvs.basepath}" program="${devenv}" >
> <arg value="${QAFramework.sln}" />
> <arg value="/build" />
> <arg value="${buildconfig.name}" />
> <arg value="/out" />
> <arg value="${build.out.path}" />
> </exec>
> <copy todir="${build.dir}"
file="${QAFramework.src}\bin\${buildconfig.name}\QAFramework.dll" />
>
> This <exec> has the effect of calling Visual Studio C# .NET to compile the
QAFramework solution. After the .sln file had been compiled, I copied the
resulting file to where I wanted it: ${build.dir}.
>
> Then, I read in something I stumbled over on the net about NAnt that the
preferred way to compile a Visual Studio solution was to use the NAnt
<solution> task. It explicitedly disparaged using <exec> to execution
devenv.exe. So, I converted the above to the following:
>
> <solution solutionfile="${QAFramework.sln}"
> configuration="${buildconfig.name}"
> outputdir="${build.dir}" />
>
> This all worked beautifully on my machine. However, on my co-worker's
machine, there was a progress message to the effect that 111 files had been
copied to ${build.dir}, when less than 50 should have been copied.
Examining that directory showed what appears to be a lot of system DLLs.
The <solution> execution then continued on to get an internal error.
>
> Any idea why so many extra files were copied?
>
> I noticed that the <solution> task includes a includevsfolders attribute.
I didn't know what it did, so I accepted the default of true. Could this
attribute be involved since its description sounds like it is tied to the
Visual Studio installatino in some way?
