Jeroen,
The <script> is currently not support on Mono. The reason for this is that the <script> task supports C#, VB.NET and JScript.NET, and Mono is still lacking support for JScript.NET (at least in officially released versions).
The built-in properties are documented here : http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/fundamentals/properties.html
However, most of them will be deprecated in the 0.85 release and have been replaced with functions (as these are much more powerful).
Perhaps we could add support for a version data type in NAnt, and then also support relational operations between instances of that type, but not all "regulars" might like that idea ...
You could then have something like this :
<if test="${assembly::get-version(nant::get-location()) > version::from-string('0.85.1684.0')}">
....
</if>
But this would need to be discussed first ...
Gert

Hmm, nant is not recognizing the <script> task:
Invalid element <script>. Unknown task or datatype.
It doesn't seem to matter where i put the <script> task in the build file. Is this a bug in a recent nightly build? (i'm using nant-0.85-20040809).
Btw: it seems "nant.version" is a predefined property. So i don't need the "${assembly::get-version(nant::get-location())}" bit. Are these properties documented somewhere?
Jeroen
p.s. relevant bits from default.build below (does the greater than sign in "v1 >= v2" need to be escaped btw?):
<!-- script hack for checking nant versions --> <script language="C#"> <code><![CDATA[ [Function("version-greater-or-equal")] public bool VersionGreaterOrEqual (string version1, string version2) { Version v1 = new Version (version1); Version v2 = new Version (version2); return v1 >= v2; } ]]></code> </script>
<!-- check for pkg-config dependencies and initialize properties --> <target name="init" description="initializes build properties"> <!-- check for an up-to-date nant --> <if test="${not(script::version-greater-or-equal(nant.version, nant.neededversion))}"> <echo message="MonoDevelop requires nant version ${nant.neededversion} or greater"/> <fail message="nant version not supported"/> </if>

You can then use the System.Version class to actually do the comparison. Something like this:

You can then call it like this:
<property name="nant.version" value="0.85.1684.0"/> <property name="nant.currentversion" value="${assembly::get-version(nant::get-location())}"/>
<if test="${script::version-greater-or-equal(nant.currentversion, nant.version)}"> <!-- Do something --> </if>
I'm sure there are other ways too!

Hi Gert,
Thanks for the quick reply. Still have a question though:
How do i actually check if the current nant version is >= than the version i need?
I now have this:
<property name="nant.version" value="0.85.1684.0"/>
and
<property name="nant.currentversion" value="${assembly::get-version (nant::get-location())}"/>
How do i compare these two values? It looks like i could extract the major, minor, build and revision numbers using the version::get-* functions, but i still need some sort of string::compare function in order to actually compare them...
How do i do this? (i don't see any functions in the docs which support this)
Thanks,
Jeroen
