You could fake it by calling <nant> within its own target. Something like:
<target name="projectB.build"> <nant buildfile="projectB.build" target="build" /> </target> Then you can depend on that project using the normal depends attribute: <target name="projectC" depends="projectB.build"> ... </target> The naming is still problematic, but at least you don't need to have one huge build file. -- Edwin G.
